2. Maybe a canine version of CoVid?

Super sad.

I would guess that some kind of new canine virus has been deposited on doggy scent posts? Or something was sprayed on the vegetation that the poor dogs are reacting to?

I hope that the cause is found soon.

If it was doggy covid, it wouldn't just affect dogs walking along the Venice canals. nt SunSeeker Aug 8 #6

There have always been insecticide and fertilizer use there. This sounds like a toxic algae bloom. SunSeeker Aug 8 #5

Sounds like it's toxic algae in the Venice canals, like the lake in Texas where dogs died. SunSeeker Aug 8 #4
