[nagdu] Dogs listening

[Steve Johnson]

Laura,

Have you had him tested for Lime's?  These are very classic symptoms as I 
know directly as my first guide passed from complications of Lime's back in 
1999...end stage renal failure.  It was in the middle of summer, he was 
shivering, he had incontenence, and was throwing up all of the time.  It 
doesn't matter if you just live in the city as ticks can be anywhere.  At 
the very least if this test has not been done, it is definitely worth 
requesting it.

Steve
