Subject: Kidney failure in dog fed Nutros

We just lost our blk lab family member of 5 years. Kidney failure. We had him from a puppy and had been fed Nutro lamb and rice formula from 1 yr. About 6-8 weeks ago, our store was out of lamb and rice and we substituted chicken rice oatmeal formula. He was ill, diareah, etc. We thought it was the sudden change in food and as soon as the lamb and rice came in, we switched him back, he had been on the other formula about 2 weeks, and he seemed better. Until he suddenly refused to eat breakfast, seemed bloated and had a stiffness to his walk. We took him at 6:30 am to the vet, low Albumin, protein in urine, water loss outside the intestine. We lost him just after 9 pm, despite the best efforts of 3 vets at our animal hospital. His food may have nothing to do with it, we don't know.
