Fading puppies

There are many causes of fading puppies. For diagnosis in an outbreak of fading puppies, send a whole pup to Diagnostics Services for post mortem. Open the abdomen and take 3 x 1cm lengths of duodenum, jejunum and ileum into 10% formol saline. Recent research has shown that sending the whole carcase is more likely to result in a specific diagnosis than just selecting some organs.
