Indigo had a visit with the neurologist today. It is suspected that
he has Distemper. His titer came back positive which means he either has
the active virus or had the vaccination. Again still unknown, because
we do not have a history on him.
If he has Distemper it is an absolute miracle to me he has survived. 80%
die from this awful virus once in the neurological stage of it. Indigo
will be tested again in three weeks and if titer is high it will confirm
that it was in fact active Distemper virus. The other suspect is
Epilepsy which we will look further into once Distemper is ruled out or
cleared from his body. Whatever happens I have been reassured that he
will fully recover and can live a happy life with some minimal special
needs. I will update as I know more. Thank you to all his supporters who
make his recovery possible.
