Oh Man! Only 5 months old? What happened, If you don't mind my asking?
My sympathies to you.
Well, we’re not sure. About 10 days prior to his being found dead I had bathed him with Sentry Pro flea/tick shampoo. Since I work away from home during my work week, and was not there in the days before his death, I can’t say whether there were any signs of distress. Unfortunately the people living in my home (daughter, her husband, and a daughter in law - temporarily while my son is going through pre-deployment training) do not pay much attention to the dogs other than to feed them and make sure they have water. Since none of the other dogs (two adults and two puppies) have shown any signs of problems, I’m led to believe that the shampoo might have been the cause. The other puppies have not been bathed with that shampoo. After he had died I read the label and discovered a warning not to use on dogs under 6 months of age. That means, if the shampoo caused his death, I am responsible. I’ve been sick to my stomach since he died.
