I had a bitch pup that had some of the bad canned food at 9 weeks while I was in Canada. When I left she was a healthy 12 1/2 pound girl....I came home 11 days later to a 8.1 lb nothing but bones who could not eat and could barely drink. Her sisters ate the same thing apparently but not near as much, and for some reason, were not affected. The other girls were a respectable 17 and 18 lbs on my return. Rushed my little "Shade" off to the vets, did blood tests, xrays etc. She underwent treatment and I syringe fed her for almost 4 weeks food that I cooked for her only. She is smaller than the rest now but she is alive and feisty and just hit 20 lbs yesterday. My vet said if I wasn't so hard headed, she would not be alive (he did say he meant it complimentary after the fact). She has been a project let me tell you......for weeks, I fed her every 3 hours, did hydration at home so she had less stress than being in a clinic. Last week she made her debut as on onlooker at the Austin show and had the best attitude with everything...nothing shy about her. A lovely black sable who I am so thankful made it. So in the meantime, I am feeding a food with only domestic purchased products in it (and the company had made guarantee's all is well), and I cook a combo of turkey, hamburg, add eggs and cottage cheese to it. Everyone is fine and well and more than fingers are crossed for the future for everyone.
