Well,the vet doesn`t think Sammy has distemper.He definately has pnuemonia.So he got a shot of antibiotic and some chewables to take.We should have the test results in about 5-7 days.Young Sammy is resting comfortably after a large meal of baked chicken legs(sans bones of cource).Thank you all for your kind words and prayers.Keep up the good thoughts.Matt,Jeannie&MATTIE
