yes,i believe so,we had a german shep once.a week before my dad's flight abroad my he complained of arthritis so painful, he couldnt walk straight(with our dog watching him curiously). after a few days,one of our shep's leg got crippled,got the vet check on her and diagnosed the ailment a result of our shep's heartburn. my dad took off just fine,but of course you cant cure arthritis,he had some occasional inflamed toe.but the thing here is,he needed to be "ok" on or before his flight,he was that time.

I have not heard of this, but it sounds interesting nonetheless. I know when I have been sick my cats look after me. They stay by my side on the bed and follow me around to make sure I am doing ok.
