As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
In following the English Setter breeder, Edward Laverack, he mentioned a way for curing distemper in dogs. The best way to cure a dog is first, not allowing them to have it, in keeping them warm and dry.
When dogs had it though, two instances are recorded for curing it, which one does not know if it is a wide process or simply worked about these two times.
"Bruce, Lord Lovat's keeper, related to me the following cases of recovery from distemper. A young dog had been paralysed in his limbs for upwards of three months. He ordered an underkeeper to take and ' throw him into the river' close by. This the man did, and tossed it into the Beauly. The poor animal was washed away by the current To the surprise of all, two or three days afterwards he crawled home, and recovered. This was a cold water cure.
The other was a dog in a similar state. Being tired of seeing it about, he told one of the men to knock him on the head and throw him on the dung-heap.' He was thrown on the dung-heap, but not ' knocked on the head,' but was partially covered over with manure. Strange to say, this dog recovered. I may call this a Turkish bath cure. Puppies, indeed all dogs, should lie very dry and off the ground."

I wonder in this why it is cold water, stressing the system to shock, or the burying of a dog's body in a decomposing manure pile which produces a great deal of heat, what this process does to affect a cure.
It is though just something in the Obamacare rationed death to keep in mind, of why this works when one has no money to treat an animal.
