[AccessD] OT - My dog is dying

John,
Very sorry to hear this, we lost our 8 year old miniature dachie on
Thanksgiving 2 years ago after 6 months of vets and specialists (protein
losing enteropathy).  Very difficult and the pain lingers on, all you
can do is give them all the love you can while they're still with us.
We just started looking for a new dog last week...  Again, very sorry

Not to ruin anyone's day, but anyone who has nothing to grieve about
today can grieve with my family and I.

This is really a warning to all you dog owners.  My two blond labs got
Lymes disease, which is a treatable micro-organism spread by fleas.  The
organism is known to "settle in" the kidneys and my 5 year old blond Lab
Boca is dying because his kidneys are failing.  We discovered that he
had the disease when he stopped eating and we took him to the vet.
There is a vaccine to prevent the disease.  Why it is not publicized I
don't know but I didn't find out until too late.

This disease is an epidemic in the northeast and is spreading across the
US. If you have dogs and live in an area where the disease is known to
exist, think about getting them the vaccine.  There is nothing more
heart wrenching than watching your dog die knowing that you could have
prevented it.
