Peanut Butter Recall: Labradors Too

I’ve received some questions about the peanut butter recall and how it might affect the dog food/treat industry. I just wanted to point out a few things to everyone.

First of all, this is a real concern. American Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has issued an official warning to dog owners about the use of peanut-contaminated food and those of you who buy dog treats need to be extremely wary about what you buy in the near future. I would read the labels on everything you have right now– if it mentions peanuts in any way, you could research that particular product if you wish, but I would recommend getting rid of it without touching it. Salmonella spreads by contact and if you touch any of it, wash your hands immediately and especially before you touch your face, your food, and your labrador. I would also recommend postponing the purchase of dog treats unless you’re absolutely sure that they are free of contamination. It won’t kill your lab to not give him treats for a while and the consequences of your dog getting sick would be much more severe than simply stopping the treats for a short time.

Second, watch your lab closely for signs of salmonella. Symptoms will usually appear in animals about 72 hours after their exposure or ingestion of salmonella and will usually fall into one of these categories:

  • A refusal to eat
  • Lethargy
  • Fever
  • Vomiting (often with blood in the vomit)
  • Gurgling and bubbling sounds in the abdomen
  • Diarrhea (often with blood present)
  • Dehydration, often severe
  • Drooling and panting (often a sign of nausea and/or pain)

Watch your pooch closely and if you notice any of these symptoms, contact your vet immediately.

Third, keep an eye on yourself. Salmonella is one of only a few diseases and illnesses that can be transmitted between dogs and humans, so if you develop any of the salmonella symptoms yourself (I would look these up because they may be a bit different for people), stay away from your dog. If your labrador contracts the illness, try not to come in contact with him, especially around the face, and wash your hands immediately after contact with your dog and any excretions — including “numbers 1 and 2″, drool, spit, and sneeze.

Keep safe.

    Happiness is not about being immortal nor having food or rights in one’s hand. It’s about having each tiny wish come true, or having something to eat when you are hungry or having someone’s love when you need love.

    His early decision to put off surgery and rely instead on fruit juices, acupuncture, herbal remedies and other treatments — some of which he found on the Internet — infuriated and distressed his family, friends and physicians, the book says. From the time of his first diagnosis in October 2003, until he received surgery in July 2004, he kept his condition largely private — secret from Apple employees, executives and shareholders, who were misled.hongxinmaoyi114blog.

    Although the broad outlines of Mr. Jobs’s struggle with pancreatic cancer are known, the new biography, by Walter Isaacson, offers new insight and details. Friends, family members and physicians spoke to Mr. Isaacson openly about Mr. Jobs’s illness and his shifting strategy for managing it. According to Mr. Isaacson, Mr. Jobs was one of 20 people in the world to have all the genes of his cancer tumor and his normal DNA sequenced. The price tag at the time: $100,000.hongxinmaoyi114blog.
