deadly virus killing dogs

[therays 2]

hi, can i just make everyone aware that there is currently a very nasty virus that is killing dogs. we live in the south east last sunday evening our 8 month old lurcher started vommiting. my daughters partner has 11 working dogs on the thursday before he had lost one of his,and had to treat several others. we took ours to the vets on monday as by then she was passing blood from both ends. samples had been sent off and are not yet back. her deterioration was rapid, and this morning she was euthanised. it was horrific. apparently almost every other dog that is being seen in the guildford area is presenting with the same symptoms. some are surviving but some are dying, for some reason the younger dogs are suffering the most. we have lost a beautiful dog today,my kids are devestated. at the moment the vets are just calling it haemorrhagic gastroenteritis, we are still waiting for test results,but we have been advised that it was highly likely that my daughters partner brought it to the house,it is highly contagious, and the speed of deterioration is horrific.
