FYI...it started with Naomi's nose and eye swelling shut..so swollen her pores were oozing. So I gave her benadryl.(Thought she had been stung) Next morning both dogs were facially swollen and covered in hives. I called the vet who said they may have gotten it from bees or found a spider nest. More benadryl...worsening as the day went on. Took them into the vet for steroid shots. Oral steroids and benadryl. Then a tinkle accident in my bedroom that smelled so foul (like rotting seafood carcass...only worse) we tried EVERYTHING and finally had to cut out 1/2 our bedroom carpet. A projectile dia-poo-poo spray in my office (another big square cut out in the middle of the room)....Needless to say this went on for a week and a half. HIves/swelling/hives/swelling and from all of the steroids, drink drink drink drink...peeeeeeeeeee everywhere! I'm was trying to figure out what in the hell was going on. Searched the yard and house, skin tested them with fabric softener and detergent, washing everything, bought new bedding + no sleep all week due to two itchy twitchy boxers! Thought they were eating the cat food.....FINALLY through the processes of elimination
I figured it out. When I bought their food, here's the kicker...NUTRO lamb and rice (some thing I've fed them for nearly a year) (BTW I had asked the petstore if nutro had changed anything during my search for a cause ) there was a clump of dog food in the bag. All of the pellets had boded together....of course I didn't think anything of it. Manager dork tells me that they did recieve an e-mail from Nutro saying that some of the food had somehow "frozen" which was causing clumps... NOW, I'm not a scientist, but I'm guessing that if you add water to food with little preservatives, then let it sit and fester in a nice dark bag on a shelf somewhere THAT IT WILL FLIPPIN' SPOIL!! IT WAS THE FOOD ALL ALONG!!!! The thing that I thought was the safest!! I have saved a sample of the tainted food and will very soon be contacting Nutro and trying to recover some of my losses!! I already informed the Petcovfrom which I purchased it!!
BE VERY SUSPICIOUS OF DOG FOOD "METEORS" IN A BAG OF DRY FOOD!!!
