I've been through that a few times and it's rough as he**. We had a nine year old Golden that we had but to sleep about 3 years ago and to this day, I still question if we did the right thing. He was having severe seizures and were pretty sure he had cancer (had several lumps). The vet however was not positive and was talking about several thousand dollars worth of care just over a few days (he wanted to send him to Cornell). It was very heart wrenching as he was a large dog with a strong heart and needed several injections before he finally feel asleep. The vet had to get more each time and it felt like an eternity. My thoughts are with you. Jim jimdettman at earthlink.net PS. Just one point though; Lymes disease is typically carried by ticks. I don't think it's spread by fleas at all. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of John W. Colby Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 9:19 AM To: AccessD Subject: [AccessD] OT - My dog is dying 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. 8-( John W.
