Sometimes nature can be real cruel. Over the weekend, one of the girls got a bad dose of Colic. She was taking in fluids but not releasing them. Despite two trips to two different veterinary practices, she lost her battle to survive.
Poor Howard and June had to endure the heart breaking and sleepless hours watching the wee lass suffer and so, our hearts go out to them....
Newfoundlands, unfortunately, suffer a shorter life expectancy than most canines. This is definitely something that has to be borne in mind by people considering the breed to be a member of their house hold.
