beetlejuice

A little over a week ago, Rocco the Kiwi House Dog got sick. He had gunk in his eyes, not much appetite, was really lethargic, lost a LOT of weight, and was weakly/trembly in general. I decided to take him to the vet.
Before we got the test results back, I thought I had paid about $50 for her to tell me he's probably just sad (his brother disappeared around the same time that he got puny and sickly).
But, apparently there is an epidemic in our area of dogs eating beetles and getting deathly ill. Our dog is sick, but not that bad yet. Hopefully we've caught the symptoms in time and the medicines, extra attention, and especially the bright green bandana that the nice, but fast-medical-jargon-talkin' vet, gave him will help Rocco get back up and running soon!
