Sick Dog Warning...

[bruceba]

For anyone hunting with their bird dogs south of Lethbridge in the ridge area. To guys I know have come up with sick dogs while hunting the ridge.
One guy lost his dog after a lengthy sickness and the second guy had both his labs come up sick and nearly lost one of them. Blood tests on the sick dogs showed abnormally high emzymes which lead the vet to believe they got into something toxic, probably from the stagnant water pools that have been festering over the summer. The one dog had to be carried back to the truck after a mourning out. Just a little info for you dog guys.

Silverado they didn't know the cause but 3 sick dogs with one dead I figured
it's worth the warning. I'll look tomorrow for algea but I'll be running my dogs on a long leash while I'm doing my scouting.
