The veterinary hospital in Nantes telephoned me this morning to explain that Karmel‘s condition deteriorated overnight, she had been put on oxygen and morphine, and it was uncertain if she would survive the day. The hospital has now telephoned to say that she had a heart attack and died. The main diagnosis is chronic ehrlichiosis, although she tested negative for this before she left Spain in July 2007. She was also suffering from pemphigus foliaceous. I will write more on the subject in a few days.

Oh no, what a terrible loss.
Sending you good thoughts.
Run free sweet Karmel.
TypePadThank you for your kind words. In due course I will be publishing on Galgo News all the lovely tributes I have received, together with a report on what actually caused Karmel’s death, as it is something which all of us involved with galgos can learn from. She will not have died in vain.
In sadness
