Sydney Pupper

A family in our community recently wrote an article in a community newspaper describing their heartbreaking experience with oleander and their beloved Golden Retreiver, “Sydney Pupper.” On December 7, 2007 a few leaves had fallen from their beautiful oleander plant onto the floor, and their dog, Sydney Pupper, ate a leaf then quickly threw-up. The leaf came up, and the family kept a close eye on Sydney Pupper. At first he seemed fine, ate and kept his food down. Then, he began to breath quickly and heavily, and his heart was racing. They rushed him to the vet and had to wait quite a while because of other emergencies at the office. Sydney began frothing at the mouth, and the family hugged him and talked to him, all the while laying on the floor on the floor by Sydney Pupper’s side. Finally, the vet came in and said blood work would determine the extent of damage before they would begin treating the dog. While they were waiting for the blood test results, Sydney Pupper died. The family said Sydney Pupper was like another child in their family, and many people have said that he was the most “human-like” dog thay have ever known. They are heartbroken.

Please be sure to research plants in your home and their toxicity to your pet so that you do not experience the same heartbreak as this family. This is their request, as printed in our community paper.

Stricter Pet Food Requirements May Be Near

As a result of the huge pet food recall, the Senate voted Wednesday on an ammendment that would require more stringent production and pet food labeling standards so pet owners would have more detailed information on the food they buy for their pets.

Nearly 4,00 dogs and cats total have died so far from the cantamination by Chinese manufacturers.

According to the Latimes in Los Angeles, “The amendment would require the FDA to establish a registry to collect information on cases of suspected food contamination to improve surveillance and increase public awareness of potential problems with the food supply.”
