in his eye that I knew something was wrong, went to my daughters house as she is really into
dogs and hoping she could figure it out, well she noticed he could not pee no matter how much he tried, so rushed him to the vet, thank God, had I waited he would have died as his bladder was full of crystals and was near rupturing, anyway the vet catheterized him after putting him under anesthesia as it was so painful, after all was said and done and $ 1, ooo.oo later, he ended up on a special
diet which we kept him on for well over a year... decided to try a good, but less expensive
dog food, had his urine checked and he was doing fine... I believe it was the chicken jerky and the
salt content, but of course I can not be sure and I do not remember the brand... Thankfully he has had no more occurrences, needless to say he does not get chicken jerky anymore and definitely nothing from China at least not that I know of.
