Sukie, I too wish to remain anonymous on this topic. Such mental illness is rarely heard of via media, and from my exposure, hardly looked for without very strong evidence of foul-play, or reason of gain. It would not surprize me in the least to find that this touches the animal community too. Mental illnes takes many forms, and such a physical manifestaion might well be overlooked where a family animal or animals are concerned. I hope anonymous #1 doesn't have a horror tale for us!
