Highland Beach. We had a smaller turnout than usual, and lively discussion on many
issues. To see the minutes of the meeting please click on Documents.

Did you know that Savannah Flak played Sister Bernice in the
Sound of Music at the Delray Beach Playhouse. She was terrific in her
role and we hope to see her on Broadway someday. Jim Saturday was a very
proud dad when his son was inducted into the honor society March 9th. We
had some sad news as well when we heard that Grant Mayer’s dog Peaches
drowned. His dog Rocco is still well and helping to console Grant.
We understand that emergency and critical pet care services have seen
increased numbers of pets with neurological signs – possibly associated
with iguanas. Many of these pets have been in direct contact with
iguanas that have died from illness and/or cold weather. It is suspected
that these pets ingested botulism toxin from iguana carcasses. If any of
your pets show signs of the following, please bring them to the nearest
medical facility for evaluation.
Signs to watch for: Rapid onset (hours to 2 days) of weakness that may
start in hind limbs and progress to forelimbs. Signs include but are not
limited to: Difficulty
walking, Falling Down, Dragging hind limbs or crawling, Difficulty
breathing, Unexpected death.
