Abstract

Amongst vital orthomolecular substances, Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) is considered as one of the important immuno-modulating and antioxidant agent. Out of the 56 canines diagnosed for CDV infection, 42 (of GI/respiratory form) were successfully treated with higher doses of Ascorbic acid, along with supportive therapy as compared to canines showing hyperkeratosis with neurological complications.
