i agree with susan on both of her last posts--doesn't have to have the wheat in it to have been near it....
and while i respect belinda's judgment a lot, i, too, am VERY nervous about putting something like this out in public. PLEASE crosspost this or share it very discriminately.... On 3/23/07, Susan Hoffman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I was feeding Nutro Max small bites (DRY) to my 3 Aussies and 1 Corgi. For the last 3 weeks on and off all 4 dogs have vomited yellow bile. I did not think much of it because it was on and off...maybe they were eating snow...whatever. Then the recall...only wet? My brother called me on Sunday on the way back from the Rescue show and his 10 yr old Sheltie spayed bitch was vomiting bile on and off for a few days and now has blood in her urine. They brought in a UA and dog is being treated for a UA infection. Yesterday he called me and his male-13 month old German Shepherd has blood in its urine...guess what...feeding DRY Nutro Max. Another UA to vets. No infection. The dispatcher at the police department where I work over heard me talking to my brother...she has 2 mixes on Nutro Ultra DRY...they have been vomiting bile on and off for about 4 weeks. A women in my obedience class...her mother has a Terrier on Nutro All Natural DRY...dog is being treated for blood in urine. The dispatcher called the FDA today and spoke with Bill Boiven (Spelling) at 781-596-7783. She gave him all our info and he contacted me. Guess what!!! They have already started to launch an investigation on the dry dog food. They are getting millions of phone calls about this. He did tell me that the foods are processed by 2 different manufactures but this is way to coincidental. Yes I have now put my dogs on boiled rice, hamburger and Wellness. Just thought some of you might want to know and maybe call if you are having problems. Seems to be more wide spread than wet or canned.
