Description Seoni; a female pariah pup was about two months old when afflicted with canine distemper (CD). With progression of disease, she manifested severe pulmonary and enteric symptoms. Later, she started to show nervine symptoms. At this period of time, she received anti-viral agent - FAVIPIRAVIR in order to protect her life and somehow avert euthanasia. The effort succeeded and now after seven months she is leading a usual life with adaptable nervine defects. Her videos are presented here. Firstly, when she was suffering from CD at the age of two months and secondly, when she is a survivor aged nine months on this date. This was an unconventional effort against the traditional line of managing CD.
