[nagdu] Krokus in ER

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Marilyn.
I'm pretty sure Krokus got the marijuana in the street when I let him relieve before going into my office building.  I've smelled smoke around there occasionally, so I suppose someone just threw down the remains when he or she was done, and Krokus picked it up.
The vet at AMC was great!  Very kind, and explained well and patiently.  I'd take him for my regular vet any day.
Tracy

Tracy I am sorry to hear that Krokus is ill. How did the dog get into Marijuana?  AMC is a wonderful animal hospital . that is where guide dog had her surgery when she was hurt on the bus 7 months ago. I hope he is well soon.  I also keep a cane at my desk at work and one at home.
