Been seeing a lot of crabs up on the beach on the falling tide lately. Then today, my brother tells me that a two year old yellow lab from his litter died in twelve hours.... Dog ate a crab on the beach in the morning, sick all over the house at noon, to the vet for antibiotics in afternoon, dead at 9pm.... Vet said dog died of botchilism, from the crab. Will try to find out more, but never heard of this before. FYI, happened in Swampscott, but don't know whether those beaches have been closed for high bacteria this year.
