MY DAUGHTER AND I AND OUR PUPPY ARE ALL ILL FROM THE HORRIBLE CONDITIONS AT THE THYME AND SAGE RANCH. EVEN THOUGH I NEVER WENT THERE (JENNIFER MET ME IN MIDDLETON TO HIDE HER LIES). I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN THE DR.S OFFICE FOR MY 1 YR OLD DAUGHTER AND MYSELF. WE WERE DIAGNOSED WITH

Campylobacteriosis is an infectious disease caused by bacteria of the genus Campylobacter. Most people who become ill with campylobacteriosis get diarrhea, cramping, abdominal pain, and fever within two to five days after exposure to the organism. The diarrhea may be bloody and can be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. The illness typically lasts one week. Some infected persons do not have any symptoms. In persons with compromised immune systems, Campylobacter occasionally spreads to the bloodstream and causes a serious life-threatening infection.

WE STARTED GETING SYMPTOMS WITHIN DAYS AFTER ADOPTING OUR PUPPY. THEN I SAW THE NEWS, AND WAS HORRIFIED THAT WHAT WE WERE ILL WITH WAS FROM OUR PUPPY...AND I WAS RIGHT!!! MY 12 WEEK OLD "SUGAR" TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE SAME THING...AS WELL AS SKIN MITES AND EAR INFECTIONS. MY VET AND DR.S ALL AGREE THAT IT STEMMED FROM HER LIVING CONDITIONS AT THE SO -CALLED RESCUE SHELTER. I AM GLAD THAT WE FIGURED IT OUT AND WE ARE ALL ON ANTIBIOTICS AND DOING BETTER PHYSICALLY THAT IS. I AM EMOTIONALLY VERY UPSET BY ALL OF THIS AND FEEL THAT SHE NEEDS TO BE LIABLE FOR ALL OF HER LIES AND DECEPTION!.. AND FOR TREATING THESE INNOCENT ANIMALS SO POORLY, WHICH LEAD TO MY FAMILY'S ILLNESS.
IF ANYONE ELSE HAS ANY SYMPTOMS...PLEASE SEEK MEDIAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATLY!

Most people who get campylobacteriosis recover completely within two to five days, although sometimes recovery can take up to 10 days. Rarely, Campylobacter infection results in long-term consequences. Some people develop arthritis. Others may develop a rare disease called Guillain-Barré syndrome that affects the nerves of the body beginning several weeks after the diarrheal illness. This occurs when a person's immune system is "triggered" to attack the body's own nerves resulting in paralysis that lasts several weeks and usually requires intensive care. It is estimated that approximately one in every 1, 000 reported Campylobacter illnesses leads to Guillain-Barré syndrome. As many as 40% of Guillain-Barré syndrome cases in this country may be triggered by campylobacteriosis.

FYI,

MY VET SAYS THAT THIS IS HER SECOND PUPPY CASE IN A MONTH WITH CAMPYLOBACTER..AND THAT THE OTHER PUPPY ALSO CAME FROM TYME AND SAGE RANCH.

PLEASE WATCH YOUR ANIMALS AND FAMILY MEMBERS FOR ANY SYMPTOMS.
