coondog paralysis

Also known as Acute Polyradiculoneuritis. This is a canine neurological disorder caused by exposure to certain contaminants contained in the feces, saliva, urine and blood of many small animals, such as racoons, possums and skunks.

The 'agent' then sets off an overreaction of the immune system, which leads to paralysis beginning in the back legs and moving forward, eventually leading to heart attacks and pulmonary failure. Some dogs will continue to eat and drink for a while, some will not.

The treatment for this disease is life support until the worst passes, followed by gradually increasing physical therapy. Once infected, the dog will always be at a greatly increased risk of contracting it again, but it can be survived with proper treatment.

Some symptoms to watch for are:
- Weakness starting in the hind legs and progressing to all legs
- Weak bark
- Development of severe weakness
- Total inability to stand
- Shallow breaths or difficulty breathing
- Stiff or rubbery back legs
- Loss of interest in food and/or water
- General lethargy
- Resistance to attempts to walk the dog
- Loss of bowel and/or bladder control
- Fluid in the lungs
- Heart attack
If your dog exhibits any of these symptoms, be sure to ask your vet about coondog paralysis, also known as acute polyradiculoneuritis - it could save your dog's life.

See specialty pet websites for details, or do a web search.

"Man, my vet told me my dog was just old, but then I found out about coondog paralysis, and he had all the symptoms. If I had known, they could have saved my dog. I never should have let him poke his nose in that hole under the bush."

Parkland

The most snotty, mean, and arrogant place in Pennsylvania. Not only do the sports teams sacrifice any piece of morality for a win, but they also know they aren't as good as Emmaus and get very salty over it. They all are middle class rich, but still decide that hard drugs are cool and getting alcohol poisoning at 14 is fun. They're easy, they're large penises, and they can suck mine.
You know that one kid, Brandon? From Parkland? He bought an eighth for $200!

parallel parking

When a man dons a strap-on posteriorly and proceeds to engage in vaginal or anal intercourse with two women at the same time with a back and forth movement. Variations include a woman in the middle, with or without strap-on, and participants of the befitting gender. Other conceivable combinations include any three trunks and a couple holes.
As Stuart trained in on the correct angles, Agnes and Phyllis found the parallel parking quite enjoyable.
