 Swiffer and Yorkies
There have been quite a few posts on here about Swiffer products. There was one where the pup was diagnosed with pancreatitis. My Sassy was also diagnosed with pancreatitis. She had lethargy, vomiting, loss of appetite and diarrhea that progressed to very bloody diarrhea. She got better but has had a couple of bouts since then...these were only diarrhea and lethargy and loss of appetite.
I have been thinking and thinking about these episodes and have come to the conclusion that it was brought on by Swiffer mopping. I gave away my Swiffer pads and my Swiffer mop. I will never use it again. The one thread I read told of a pup that was diagnosed with pancreatitis and the only thing the poster could think of was having mopped with Swiffer.
I have long heard that the Swiffer problem is labeled an Urban Legend. I now believe it IS very harmful to our babies and will NEVER use it again. If this post helps prevent even one little one from getting sick, it will have been well worth the time it took to post it.
