Dr. Sears wrote me to say that the fear that Dr. Brantly had about an antibody reaction was very unlikely, as it would require damage to some membranes; alot more than just piercing through with a needle at the base of the skull into the spinal canal. He reported that a dog who was treated after 8 years who had been known to have Distemper as a puppy and assumed OK without more than the shot in the body did not show neuro symptoms until later in life did not survive when it finally was done at the paralytic stage, so having it done before symptoms are severe is better. He is anxious to speak with Dr. Brantly and communicate what he knows from his experience in treating the disease.

How are things going - did you get the second procedure done? Did Dr. Sears talk to the other Doc... I am talking to Dr. Sears and Daveyo about my kitten who has FIP... I am getting some push back on getting the drug they recommend as well.
Hi Sharon,
No not yet. I am still trying to find out whether the two have talked. Dr. Brantly has not called me to let me know and was out of the office today.
This guy sounded ready to do it when I called the office before the consultation and then seemed to get cold feet after we saw him.
It seems to me that if these options exist then the vets really should make use of them because NOT doing them is worse.
I think it would be good to start a doctor's list of vets who are open to these new treatments. That way it will be easier for people who come along later and want these treatments for their pets to get them witout having to start from square one.
Dr. Sears should really get the Nobel prize for the medical discoveries he's come up with.
