Labradoodle & Goldendoodle Forum
My Boys are fine, but life for me is truly the pits when the Boys aren’t feeling well. It’s the one time when I wish either they could speak or I could bark!
When Leo’s not at 100% he’ll look at you with those heart breaking eyes and try as he might, we just can’t seem to connect.
Through trial and error I somehow manage to come within close proximity to the root of the problem, but when all else fails, off to the “Doodle Doc” we run…
Last week I read a blog post about a Mysterious Dog Illness Moving Through Ohio. It was written by a pet blogger I truly enjoy following…
I am not “too” terribly worried yet, perhaps because there is still quite a bit of distance between VA and Calif and Ohio.
But I am “concerned” enough to lean on the cautious side and keep up with the emails I receive regarding this deadly new “mystery” disease that has sickened and unfortunately killed several pups most recently.
Not sure where all our readers are located, so I thought – why not at least air on the side of caution and share what I’ve learned so more pet parents can be aware of what’s lurking out there.
Even though these seem to be isolated cases… “knowledge is still POWER.”
Here’s what I’ve read -
I know these symptoms “mimic” a dozen other illnesses. That’s what makes this rather scary. Since there is no definitive link to where, when, or how – Harley, Leo & I will continue to doodle through each day as usual.
I will still monitor the best I can, because they rely on me to keep them healthy and safe…
If all of this is catching you totally by surprise, don’t panic. Feel free to visit these sites for additional information:

Thanks fur reading, I’ll keep on writing…

Hi Cathy, I haven't subscribed to groovy Goldendoodles because I thought the DK blog some how connected. I will subscribe and start commenting there instead :)
Hi Joanna - How's Zoe & Bender? Leo is fine, he is a big ball of fun. Happy to hear you are enjoying Jen's blog post. She will be pleased to know you subscribed. Have you subscribed to Groovy Goldendoodles? I would love to see your comments on the website. I can't get DK comments on there for all my other readers to see. Thanks, and woofs to your Doods from my Doods. Cathy
Is Leo feeling better? I hope they both stay safe and away from all the virus' thats going around!
I read some of the blogs of "my brown newfies and I"...very cute and nicely written. I am subscribing to her now :)
Here is the latest on the virus. Please read this as a reliable source of information.
Thanks Sheila. I think my opening for the blog post may have been misleading - Leo is fine! I really wanted to make sure I shared what I'd learned, and so my thoughts might have gotten ahead of me. I pray this thing (whatever it is) "get's got" before it becomes an epidemic throughout the country. Take care - thanks for reading
A great reminder Cathy. It's easy to forget that an illness is still going around when the news dies down a bit.
I hope Leo is feeling better.
