Hi All; I am sorry to hear of Dr. Kruger's passing.This gentlemen did not know me from a hole in the wall when I had a 5 month old GSD at my Vet with Toxic Gut. Scootie had me call Dr. Kruger and he was wonderful, he and my Vet got on the phone and Dr. Kruger explained what he though Kirk should do for Daphne. Unfortunately she did not survive, but at least thanks to Dr. Kruger we tried, instead of doing nothing to try and save her. I saw him a few years later when he was at a show as a Vendor and I had the opportunity to thank him in person for his help and spent sometime talking about this horrible disease that occurs in our breed. The breed has lost a friend. Cathy Kelstar fmurch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx EarthLink Revolves Around You. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
