We lost our new champion Masstana's Just in Case on Friday.  Casey was  just 
2 years and 6 months old.  On Thursday he was playing normally with  our other 
dogs, ate well, and when I brought him in for the night, he was  feeling 
great, ran into his crate and turned around waiting for his  cookie.  A little 
later we heard him throw up his cookies and some food,  let him out and he 
piddled.  Came back in and seemed ok.  Was resting  comfortably so after an 
hour of 
watching him Nancy went to bed again.  I  had a golf game at 7:30am so I left, 
everything normal.  When Nancy went  down to let the dogs out, Casey was 
lethargic and she called the vet.  Took  him down.  By 3:30pm he was dead.  
Died 
in our arms as we were getting  ready to put him down.  His intestines were 
being destroyed by  bacteria.  We believe it was Toxic Gut Syndrome.  Our vet 
whom we have  used for over 30 years had never heard of it.  Our understanding 
is 
that  once the symptoms are manifest, it is too late.  Such was the case  
here.  
 
Casey was so young.  A champion at just over two years old.  OFA  Excellent.  
And had bred a flipping and turning maiden bitch with no  problem.  
Everything you want in a bright young star.  Now he is  gone.  Don't know why, 
or what 
could have caused such a massive  infection.  We are devastated.  So sad.
