CHEW EEZ RAWHIDE DOG CHEWS KILLING MY DOG

by N DEAN
(SANTA MARIA CA SB COUNTY)

WHEN MY HUSBAND PASSED AWAY 9 YEARS AGO MY SON THEN 16 BROUGHT HOME A PITBULL MIX THAT HE NAMED ANGEL. JUST LAST MARCH ANGEL BECAME SICK AND I TOOK HER TO THE VET AND FOUND OUT SHE HAS DIABETES.

I DO NOT HAVE ALOT OF MONEY BUT SACRIFICED TO GET THE TEST AND NOW HAVE BEEN GIVING HER 2 SHOTS A DAY.

FOR MONTHS NOW SHE WAS DOING SO MUCH BETTER ALTHOUGH SHE LOST HER SIGHT, SHE WAS STILL HAPPY. YESTERDAY I BOUGHT A BOX OF CHEW EEZ TREATS, THE THIN FLAT ONES AND THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE HER A NICE TREAT.

SHE SOMEHOW ATE THE WHOLE THING AND THE NEXT MORNING SHE WAS THROWING UP. I FOUND THREE LARGE PIECES OF WHAT LOOKED LIKE A RUBBER SHOE SOLE. COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE CHEW EEZ TREAT. SHE STILL MUST HAVE SOME INSIDE HER BECAUSE NOW SHE IS VOMITING AND WILL NOT EAT AND WHEN SHE DRINKS WATER SHE THROWS IT UP.

I AM SO UPSET THAT I AM SITTING HERE AT 11 PM WONDERING IF MY PRECIOUS ANGEL IS GOING TO DIE. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THESE SYMPTOMS AND I WILL HAVE TO TAKE HER TO THE VET WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD.

I WILL HAVE TO GET THE SURGERY BECAUSE I GAVE HER THE TREAT THAT WILL KILL HER AND I CAN'T LIVE WITH THAT. SO PLEASE, PLEASE LISTEN TO ME WHEN I SAY DO NOT GIVE YOUR LOVING DOGS ANY TYPE OF RAWHIDE DOG CHEWS, RAWHIDE IS A KILLER FOR DOGS.

I WISH I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT HER A T-BONE STEAK INSTEAD. I LOVE MY DOG AND BY TRYING TO GIVE HER A TREAT I MAY HAVE KILLED HER. PLEASE TAKE THIS ADVICE AND PASS IT ALONG TO YOUR FRIENDS OR PEOPLE YOU MEET IN THE DOG FOOD ISLE.

IT MAY SAVE ANOTHER DOG'S LIFE. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.

SINCERELY,
