A number of dogs have died suddenly in Norway from a mysterious illness over the past few days and authorities are warning owners to limit contact between pets.
The canines have fallen violently ill, with symptoms including diarrhea and vomiting. Veterinarians estimate that as many as 20 have died across the country. Autopsies of deceased dogs have so far been inconclusive, but have highlighted two types of bacteria, according to the Norwegian Food Safety Authority.
