I have had yorkies for almost 30 years and had never experienced anything like this. I thought maybe sharing Nala's story may possibly help save someone else. |
DebbieD-Thank you so much for sharing the information. My heart breaks for you in losing Nala. I appreciate the info on Addison's, I had never heard of this before and just looked it up and one of the notes regarding food states "It has been alleged that ethoxyquin has caused cancer; liver, kidney and thyroid dysfunctions"......So even scarrier to think some of the high quality foods I had given him could have caused something bad in his body.
I will watch him closely and when we go back to the vet have them look at his labs more closely for this. Today he seems fine, and no throwing up it is just so odd how it seems to come and go. Thanks again!
