Anybody have sick dogs feeding Diamond right now? - Page 1

I know of 3 homes feeding Diamond foods that all have diarrhea, a little vomiting, a little lethargy and not wanting to eat their dry food. Symptoms lasting 2 weeks now and going in waves; It seems to get better and and then returns.  One of these did test positive for Giardia, was treated with Fenbendazole and showed no improvement after 5 days. At that time was put on Met. and kept on the Fenben. with no improvement after 5 more days.
I am now thinking maybe something with the food.  It is affecting dogs of all ages.
Anyone?

i'm not sure of the spelling, but there is some new horrible virus with the same symptoms........circorona or something like that.

edit......it is cirovirus:

I have heard of that but did not know it was in my area (San Diego, CA)
I think I will call a few vets and see if they have seen it.

I use the Diamond Naturals Extreme Athlete (along with other kibbles & RAW) & haven't had any issues. I am on the other side of the country though, so it comes from a different plant. 

Mine are on 4health, made in same factory, and sick with diarrhea. The one dog who refused to eat the food is not sick. I went back to adding some kibble a few months back for ease, but never again!

i have & so have many others posted about problems we have had with diamond products.  others have fed diamond foods for years and never had a problem.
some of us have fed several bags of the same formula with no issues & then all of a sudden----diarrhea or whatever.  diamond has had several recalls since
2007.  bottom line where diamond is concerned-----inconsistency.  you may be lucky & never have a problem or you may be like the most unfortunate & have
a sick or dead dog :(  i don't feed diamond & won't feed.  i gave them numerous chances & was disappointed.  TOTW actually sounds like a good food, but once
again, faces the same inconsistencies.  in all honesty, i believe part of the problem to be food storage.  most of those bags have at least a one year expiration
date.  they leave the factory on a pallet with shrink wrap and god only knows how many days they spend in a hot warehouse during that year.  extreme heat
is known to break down lots of elements & some actually become poisonous.  fats, for example, when they aren't stored properly, become rancid & then de-
plete the body of b-vitamins when ingested.  so, it is possible that the entire fault may not be the diamond food itself, but negligence on the part of the chain
stores from buying in large volume & not providing proper storage.

I've asked on another breed board where many feed a Diamond product, no problems so far.

Just heard of some bulldog puppies getting sick after eating one of the Diamond puppy chows. It sounds serious, some have died. They didn't live in the same areas of the country. If I hear anymore. I'll post it here.
