Subject: RE: BS: Obit: Sorch's Gilley Dog From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 25 Mar 06 - 12:11 AM My sympathies Sorcha. I lost my two 18 year old cats within a few weeks of each other while I was extremely sick. A good friend insisted on my acquiring a new kitten after a while, now I have 2 again because I found that two felines together are much more than twice as happy as one. May you keep pleasant memories of both your lost friends, and may you also find out just what it was that caused the sudden deterioration, so that you can avoid it with your next lot of 4 legged friends. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obit: Sorch's Gilley Dog From: wysiwyg Date: 25 Mar 06 - 10:51 PM Bes/Bud, this is NOT YOUR FAULT. ~Susan |
Subject: RE: BS: Obit: Sorch's Gilley Dog From: Sorcha Date: 26 Mar 06 - 12:51 AM The general idea is a sewer back up....possibly either hepatitis or leptospsirosis...still waiting on lab results...and, well, Whizy, my head knows that but my heart doesn't....should have found the nasty sooner....but I know....just so heartbroken....no dog at all tonight.... |
Subject: RE: BS: Obit: Sorch's Gilley Dog From: MBSLynne Date: 26 Mar 06 - 06:19 AM Oh Sorch, I'm sooo sorry. (((((((((((((((((Sorcha)))))))))))))))))))))) Love Lynne |
Subject: RE: BS: Obit: Sorch's Gilley Dog From: GUEST,Donuel : your grateful Date: 26 Mar 06 - 08:22 AM Sorcha, as the soul person who let me know of the fertile green pastures of this forum of music and ideas, you are to me central to the spirit and experience of all the people here who are kind. So my dear I do not wish to cause fear but your dear pets may have been the canaries in your mine. Please take care. |
Subject: RE: BS: Obit: Sorch's Gilley Dog From: Severn Date: 26 Mar 06 - 08:48 AM As a friend and help to me (and my cat) and having talked to you as this was going on, I've some idea of how devastating this has been for you and your family members and what you all have been through. My thoughts are with you and good luck on finding the cause and thus preventing any recurrence and insuring a long life and good time with future four legged companions. My thoughts are with you. Hang in there. Severn And a reassuring meow from Molly, though she may not know why. |
Subject: RE: BS: Obit: Sorch's Gilley Dog From: Stilly River Sage Date: 26 Mar 06 - 11:15 AM Sorcha, is your house safe for humans--are you exposed to the same thing that killed your dogs? Be safe--move out for a while if you have to until the problem is absolutely diagnosed and mitigated. Your homeowners insurance should cover it. SRS |
Subject: RE: BS: Obit: Sorch's Gilley Dog From: Sorcha Date: 26 Mar 06 - 12:22 PM Yes, Don and Maggie.....I am sterilizing everything.....we are as paranoid as anyone. Waiting on lab results and cultures to see what we are dealing with. We are almost certain that it was K9 hepatitis or lepto which humans can get. The entire basement floor has been chloroxed to a fare thee well, and I'm shampooing carpets and furniture with Simple Green. Can't use Clorox on carpets. The odd thing is that the grand dog never got sick (had blood work done on him) and neither of the cats got sick. The probable primary cause was a sewage back up in the basement....feces...dogs walked on it before we discovered it (seldom go down there) and licked their feet....but, so do the cats. Grand dog doesn't go down there. |
Subject: RE: BS: Obit: Sorch's Gilley Dog From: wysiwyg Date: 26 Mar 06 - 12:34 PM A professional carpet cleaner should be able to recommend or use a germicidal agent more powerful than Simple Green. For the contamination you suggest may be responsible, IMO professional advice is strongly indicated. ~Susan |
Subject: RE: BS: Obit: Sorch's Gilley Dog From: bobad Date: 26 Mar 06 - 12:47 PM I'm a little mystified as to why a definitive diagnosis was not made when your first dog fell ill and succumbed. |
Subject: RE: BS: Obit: Sorch's Gilley Dog From: GUEST,Marion Date: 26 Mar 06 - 12:48 PM Sorcha, I'm so sorry to hear this. Your little dogs were wonderful animals. Love, Marion |
Subject: RE: BS: Obit: Sorch's Gilley Dog From: Sorcha Date: 26 Mar 06 - 01:08 PM Because it takes time to culture stuff...... |
Subject: RE: BS: Obit: Sorch's Gilley Dog From: bobad Date: 26 Mar 06 - 01:22 PM These days many infectious agents such as canine leptospirosis and hepatitis can be rapidly diagnosed by simple serological techniques. |
Subject: RE: BS: Obit: Sorch's Gilley Dog From: Sorcha Date: 26 Mar 06 - 01:25 PM So, maybe I had a crappy vet to start with.....and they started treatment for both immeidately. |
