That dog wouldn't be so confident laying there is that was my house. I would have stepped on him at least half a dozen times by mistake.

Our neighbor's dog died of this. It was very traumatic for them. Their "beach house" was on the Eastern shore of MD. Delmarva peninsula.
Who knew that splashing in the water would kill a dog? |

Jim, is that because of the long dry spell then lots of rain?
glatt, that was in salt, or at least brackish water?

I would guess brackish. They never said exactly which body of water it was, but their house is on a mouth of a small river where it enters the Chesapeake Bay. So I assumed that is where the dog got exposed. Maybe there was another body of water nearby where the dog was playing. I just don't know. The dog took 2-3 days to die, if I remember correctly. So it sounds like maybe a mild case of this thing. The Vet told them it was a waterborne toxic bacteria. I had never heard of such a thing, and neither had they. They have another dog now and said initially that it would never be allowed in the water, but I have seen pictures on social media of that dog splashing around. |

Ben says, Play with it? Ain't nobody got time for that. Kill it and be ready for the next adventure, I mean what if Dad got on his bike while I was playing with it?

It happens every year in ponds and rivers, though there seems to be a slow increase in range and severity.
Variable weather, greater demands on water (population, grapes and weed), and the nature of the bacteria itself must all play a part. |
