Having just spoken with someone else who experienced needless death in the
family from Canine Distemper, I have to tell you that there is a lot of it
out there in many areas this year and I have heard from far too many going
through this.  Horrible way to die... It really gets to you sometimes when
you hear about such needless deaths.  Sometimes you just feel ready to
burst.

Entirely possible.  Keep trying and keep records.  We had one who could
hear only low pitched sounds.  If a voice was too high while she was being
held she'd get a puzzled expression and place her hands on the person's
lips.  Low pitched sounds worked very well for her, though.  Have heard
of another one who only heard high pitched sounds.
