Does the Orejin you were feeding contain any fish meal or fish ingredients?
I ask this because all fish is preserved with ethoxyquin on the boats at the time they are caught. This is a toxic preservative and can make dogs and cats extremely sick, and deaths have been reported in animals fed this for any length of time.
Dog food makers don't have to list it as an ingredient bc they are not the ones adding it to the fish. They buy the fish from another company and add the fish to their food. Supposedly, the ethoxyquin is burned off in the cooking process, but tests are not done to ensure a complete removal of the ethoxyquin.
How long had he been eating the Orejin? I'm thinking this may have been the cause of his increased ALT. |
