I agree. The poison control center I called for my own information's sake told me
that certain kinds of poisoning, etc. can only be detected with stool and vomitus
testing. But they strongly and repeatedly urged that whoever is having this
problem, especially since humans are involved and that different species of animals
are affected that the state health dept./officer be notified immediately.

As a grandmother of 4 who is owned by 2 dogs and 4 ferrets, I'm really concerned
about something that can spread and present symptoms so quickly.

the humans have been sick too, and maybe none so serious but it may happen if a
child becomes ill next.
