SUDDEN DEATH IN A DOG - EXPLANATION?
"Her blood tests came back perfect so he said to watch her for
a few days. <snip> The next day, she got even worse and I brought
her back to the vet where she died later that day. The vets are
baffled by this and said its one for the record books but if anyone
knows of another dog that had this happen to it please let me
know maybe there is something overlooked somewhere." JACKLAB1

GUIDE EXTRA

BOOK REVIEW: "GETTING UP IS HARD TO DO"
A review of the book "Getting Up is Hard to Do - Life with Rheumatoid
Arthritis" by Wanda James. The book paints a disturbing, yet accurate
picture of how rheumatoid arthritis can intrude on the lives of young
adults robbing them of their hopes, dreams, and ambitions.

I have learned about rheumatoid arthritis because a dear friend of mine
deals with this disease on daily basis. This article is a must-read.
