Okay -
I spoke my piece on raw, but after giving it more consideration.. What is
the likely hood that the puppy(ies) in question were maybe fighting some
little bacterial infection or a virus at the same time? I don't see where
the meat would cause a huge issue in an otherwise healthy puppy, but if the
pup were fighting something like coccidia, giardia or a bug that big dog
brought home from a dog show, his little immune system would be already
compromised , therefore allowing any future "bugs" to take over.
Did the vet do any further bloodwork to see if there was an underlying
problem, or did he stop when he came up with his result of e.coli and assume
it was just that?
Just curious (and trying to look at a possible alternative answer)...
