[Gpdd] [ANNOUNCE] a sad loss over the holiday

[Karen Brown]

Thanks Joan.
   
  None of the others except Rilian have this arrowhead hair loss pattern.  I've never treated mite infestation before.  I don't know where to start.  Have you?

    Karen, I'm so sorry for your loss of Caspian.  Maybe he heard about a great Thanksgiving feast on the other side of the bridge and couldn't resist.  There are no words of consolation.
   
  If you do suspect mites start treating ALL the furbabies as this can pass quite easily from one to the other.  Good luck.

I definitely didn't see this coming. The only symptoms I noticed was hair loss on in his lower back in the shape of an arrowhead and slight weight loss. Otherwise, he was eating, drinking, active...Another one of my guys has the same hair loss pattern and is painful in that area. I've read so much about mites on the digest but never encountered the problem all these years...if that's what it is...
