my dog stopped eating....and for Twister that was a major sign--oddly he still would eat those horrible jerky strips. He went into renal failure and developed a condition known as fanconi syndrome which is rare outside of certain breeds. Symptoms are excessive drinking, excessive urination, and glucose in the urine. those symptoms are also associated with diabetes. I will never forgive myself for giving him those things--I did not know the FDA issued a warning about them. Even my vet didn't know that. The FDA has been testing them but can not find a definitive cause and the Chinese plants won't allow an inspection. Because of their inability to find a cause, the FDA can only issue a warning and they do so because of the many similar complaints filed against the strips.
