    Is everyone with a dog aware of this? It's spreading all over the country and can be deadly. They aren't sure what it is, a virus or a bacteria, but it can lead to pneumonia and death.

    We got a Notice in our e-mail about it from our apartment complex office, however, we don't have a dog or cat. Currently we live in Henderson, Nevada.

    WOW! That's really nice of your apartment manager. My dog thinks she should be the only dog in the world (and she's not too sure about cats, either,) so she has no contact with other dogs. However, I think the scientists are so baffled by this they don't know if it survives on grass or the sidewalk, so just walking a dog could be dangerous. My girl is almost 14 and I don't think she'd survive this thing.

    There is a new 'covid' type illness in China. Lots of kids get sick and die from it. Dr John Campbell theorized it is a lack of vitamin A as their eyes are involved. Chinese kids don't get a lot of that vitamin as they don't eat eggs, cheese, etc
    I wonder if vitamin a is the issue in the dogs. I know dog food is supplemented with vitamin e as a preservative, but if they don't get any liver....

    The other thing, We did not get any mrna shots. And we did not get any covid. We took appropriate amounts of vitamin d3, k2-7 and zinc along with others and ate well.

    I have read about the canine "mystery" illness. We currently don't have a dog but that is scary.

    I have read it was a resistant form of mycoplasma, but then I heard that wasn't true. I think they are using doxycycline on it as a possible remedy. I could be something that escaped from a lab as Covid did. Maybe they were using dogs as "subjects" and messing with something that wasn't (so far?) contagious to humans. I don't trust anybody.

    I know whip worms will make them very ill with respiratory illness.
    Leo had it real bad when we got him, he continuously had a very rapid breathing.
    Wormer cured him up.
