making pets sick

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to give you a little more info on the food recall.
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.
Thanks
