Thanks so much Chachi
I can understand why you want to educate people, as that story is just awful!! I
I did just read some more on the symptoms though, and it really doesn't sound like Pixel. He never coughs, so that sounds like a good sign. Also, I am reading it happens more in middle-aged and overweight dogs, and Pixel is neither. Was the dog you are talking about overweight or older? I will see how he is tonight and if he's okay, I will wait until Friday when I was already planning on taking him to doggy day care (also my vets office) and have them check him out while there. I sure hope he doesn't have that and all is okay. I can't bear the thought of my little one being sick with something that sounds so awful!
