I scheduled blood test for both my dogs for Wednesday that's the soonest
they could get me in. Seems like I'm not the only one doing this the office
is swamped. Both my dogs seem ok but I figured I better do it since I I had
been feeding the Ol Roy in the pouches with their evening meals.

Apparently this whole thing has been very good for the
organic pet food industry. I make an effort to feed the
dogs as well as I possibly can and in some cases that
includes organic foods (I just picked up a bag of Blue
Buffalo - it looks nice and the dogs like it but it's too
soon to tell whether or not it makes any kind of
difference), but the truth is that I have absolutely no idea
where the ingredients for even the organic foods come from.
After all, that e.coli-tainted spinach was organic.

Anyway, I hope everything comes out okay.

"Organic" apparently doesn't guarantee the proper bathroom habits of
spinach pickers.

Ditto. This is a horrible, heartbreaking nightmare.

Looks like they would be looking for a rat poison - aminopterin. Knowing
that will apparently help the vets with treatment.

What possessed you to do such a thing?

The ecoli doesn't have to come from the human pickers. The manure that is
used as fertilizer can be tainted and the vegetables or fruit grown in it
improperly prepared and washed. Thus the ecoli that was in the soil doesn't
get rinsed from the product produce surface.

I personally use O'l Roy to put weight on my strays and transfer them to the
goodstuff afterwards. It's kinda like feeding them junk food. It is better
than what they were not eating. In my personal opinion

In the case of the spinach E. coli outbreak, it was cattle, not humans.

You didn't know that stuffing dogs with garbage food is the healthy way
for weight gain? Where've ya been?
