Woman eats Dog's contaminated Food. Woman And Pet Hospitalized After Eating Contaminated Pet Food
March 28, 2007 2:02 p.m. EST Nidhi Sharma - All Headline News Staff Writer Ottawa, Canada (AHN) - A Canadian woman and her 1-year-old dog ended up in the hospital with almost identical symptoms after the two ate the same moist pet food that was recalled in North America some time back. In an attempt to trick her terrier into trying a new kind of food, Elaine Larabie ate it herself and suffered from "embarrassing" symptoms including foaming at the mouth, problems urinating, vomiting and loss of appetite. According to Canada.com, Larabie soon suspected she and her new dog, Missy, fell victim to the same pet food that had been contaminated with rodent-killing medicine and recalled. Missy was admitted to a veterinary care facility but is said to be safe now. However, Larabie is awaiting lab results from her hospitalization. When she contacted Iams, the manufacturer of the food, it confirmed she had indeed eaten the contaminated dog food that had been recalled. Iams has assured Larabie that they will cover her medical bills. She is still awaiting her blood tests to decide whether she will sue the company. Copyright © AHN Media Corp - All rights reserved.

Yeah, you'd think with the recent crop of tainted dog food cases people would know better. Guess she doesn't keep up with the news. It was Iams food too. looking for you in the woods tonight Switch FC SW-2874-2863-4789 (Rum&Coke) | |

I wondered if someone would get sick from eating the bad pet food. I really like spicy food. I mostly put Jalapenos on a lot of my food.

Yeah, I'm sure the dog got it worse since he's a lot smaller in weight. looking for you in the woods tonight Switch FC SW-2874-2863-4789 (Rum&Coke) | |
