I really feel so sad that most of the kittens and puppies those are sold in pet market and adopted by a parent suffers from Herpes/Panleukopaenia virus or Canine Paro/Distemper viruses and ultimately dies after few days. I become helpless seeing these patients.
Parent’s side : Most of the parents don’t read or ask a Veterinarian how to adopt or choose a pet! I have already posted a video on this page regarding this topic. The result they adopt a wrong kitten/puppy, suffer and loose the life of the pet.
Unethical pet business: If the mother of the puppy/kitten been vaccinated properly, puppy/kitten would get maternal antibodies against these deadly viruses and might have immunity for atleast few months after birth. By this time pet parents would complete full course of vaccines.
There is no history of mother-father of the puppy/kitten, even nor the vaccination card of the Mother.
Since last 24 years I see the same condition. No awareness, no education related to this topic. I have seen that videos of entertainment/joke becomes more viral than educational posts.
Best wishes.
