Subject: Nutro High Energy & Senior Small Bites

I'm so sorry that many of you have suffered the loss of your dear pets. But I want you to know that because you took the time to post your stories, you saved one little Jack Russell Terrier. Looking back I think my dog started to not look well a few months ago (when we purchased a new bag of High Energy). Eventually we decided it was more than "old age" and took him to the vets. He could only find some back pain and suggested we might want to change to a formula for older dogs for joint support. That's when our little guy, Bradley, age 8, really started to get sick. He's never over eaten, but for some reason he was eating and drinking so much more than usual. We also noticed some drooling, and then he started with muscle spasms! They increased over the next 10 days or so, accompanied with moments where he just looked frozen, as if he just couldn't move for several seconds. These were not epileptic seizures, but something was wrong neurologically. In one week this little guy gained 4 pounds, but was looking sicker and sicker. We took him off the Senior formula as we were concerned about the weight gain but kept him on the High Energy. The muscle spasms stopped the next day, but he continued to just look very bad and drinking excessively. Something much more than back pain was going on. I continued to search the internet for some kind of answer (the vet had none), and stumbled on this website. I immediately took away the Nutro and gave him human food. Within 12 hours we started to see improvement - he was more responsive and less lethargic. His excessive drinking is subsiding. He's not 100% but in just the last couple of days we're seeing a huge improvement. I reported this to Nutro and got the same response as others -- "please send us a sample and we'll test." Again, I am so, so sorry for those of you who lost your pets. My heart was breaking as I read your stories. But please know that by sharing your experience, you helped to save a little guy that's very precious to me. Thank you all.
