Re: Edicational post Salmon

glacier melt down--hope not, i might have to refresh my skills from college 
swimming. I will ask both of them about it and let you know, but my 
suspicion is that they have not seen many cases of it or they would have 
brought it up when we were discussing the RAW diet.  I have to confess that 
jester did get a little chunk of red salmon from our first fishing trip that 
he managed to steal from the cat, but that was weeks ago and nothing.  
worries me still though.  the cat has eaten huge amounts of raw salmon and 
has never gotten sick in the past.  i also know that chum salmon earned the 
nicname "dog" salmon from the natives use of the fish to feed their dogs.  
maybe the cold water is a different story.
