Re: bad news....... very bad news.....
Thanks guys! I talked to the breeder the other night for about an hour over the phone-- Shes very upset about this all. She loves all her pups, and losing one is just something that is very hard to deal with. Im not too familiar with Distemper, so I feel as though you all are providing me with some promising news. I got another update over email last night which says they are all ok-- no symptoms whatsoever. Even the 2 runts from the litter are happy, healthy, running, playing, and eating. So keep your fingers crossed, pray every night, or just keep them all in your thoughts. (btw she says the two runts are also not exactly runts anymore. She says they are a bit smaller than the rest but have really blown up within the past couple of weeks--- so thats a good sign too)
You know Im thinking something is being passed around that area... I think the pups arent allowed outside right now (other than to potty-- if that!). She asked me if horses can come down with this because a friend of hers had a little 6 month old colt who was fine and in about an hour was showing signs of pneumonia. I believe he passed a few hours or days later. My goodness I couldnt even imagine my horses coming down with this! (I did sell them all, but they all sold around this area) and that mersa bug is going around (that deadly staff infection) but that has to do with people... I just wonder if animals can get it as well.... I wonder if they can get it if their symptoms will change?
but so far so good.....
I have to run out and do the nanny thing (i love my little kiddies!

) Ill be back home around 6 hopefully with another update, and possibly before 6 if the kids have piano today.
