Subject: Nutro Natural choice treats

Our dog "Lucky" just died over the memorial weekend and deep inside myself, I believed that the "Nutro Natural choice treats caused his deaf. We rescued Lucky about a year and half ago, we took him, to our Vet, he found his overall health very well, for a dog his age, approximate 8 year old lab mix.
It took Lucky good 3 to 4 months to warm-up to us; evidently he has had some abuse in his life...
Lucky's name was my choice to show him how lucky he was to find a family that loves dogs and have had 3 dogs prior to "him" and had lived between 15 to 17 wonderful years. Lucky finally become our dog and filled the empty nest that ( Gigi left) he has turned to be the warmest, funny and playful black lab. During this year and half, Lucky has not got sick or showed any signed of illnesses or even a common cold that dogs usually gets.
On May 14th 2007, I went to the local petco store,I usually got for Lucky the mixed treats from their open treat- bar, but that day, I decided to purchased the treats "Nutro Natural choice" in a box for mature dogs, within days, Lucky started it to feel sick, he will not eat of drink anything, he started vomiting, my husband was not worry, he felt that it was just a stomach flu, but, by Monday May the 25th we took him to the vet,he treated him,for an upset stomac, after we with, great difficulty got his medicine down, Lucky started drinking water for a day ( from the sprinkles) which "he loved� to do that, but we took him back to the vet on Friday the 25th, because it was not signed of him getting better, at that point the vet told us, that in order to really know what was going on with him, he needed to do several test and maybe surgery and because Lucky was 8 years old, this also represented an issue, he asked us to think about it, but there was not time to think what decision we will take, because the treats produced by Nutri had taking its course and Lucky died Saturday May 25th, 12 days from the purchased of the product and he only had around 10 of them.
By the way during those days, that Lucky become ill, lethargic, dehydrated and at the end his entire system was shot down...I went back and pay a visit to the Petco Manager, who in his non-caring behavior assured me that the treats were safe, due to the fact that Nutro has not re-called the treats and maybe so, but how can we be so sure, specially when the last food Lucky ate was those treats. I will never know. I hope to save the lives of other dogs...

Lucky, I'm doing this for you, I loved you even thought it was a short time.......
