A client had 2 dogs put down because of meningitis
The first one died almost eight months ago and was replaced by a beautiful black Lab rescue dog, who recently started showing the same symptoms. She was diagnosed with meningitis and he put her down yesterday.

SOMETHING on his property is infected with something. I recommended he contact the CDC and get their advice. The simp hadn't even considered it. If whatever it is were to cross over to his young son...

1. Creepy thought...
Tainted water, maybe?

2. It seems to be confined to their property
Their neighbor has a dog that has remained healthy. The only thing dividing the properties is a cheap iron railing fence. We were talking about it and it came down to either fertilizer, or perhaps he was feeding them recalled pet food. He knew nothing of the recall until I showed him the online list.

3. Sounds like your neighbor is seriously out of touch...
The recall has been going on for months. Doesn't he watch the freaking news?

5. His head is firmly lodged in a warm, dark place.
C'est la vie.

4. God how terrible.
I hope he finds the source before one of his family members is infected.
