SHAMUS update 6/25/08

June 25th - Shamus is back to his old self AGAIN.  His eye looks bad again and he still can't hear.....but we blame that on his medications and age.

June 17 - Shammy seems to be going down hill rather quickly.  All he is doing is lying and sleeping.  He still has a hearing loss of almost 100%.  Please add some special prayers and good thoughts for our wonderful Shamus.

June 7- Shamus seems to have gone totally deaf! 

June 1 - Shamus is the happiest dog alive, I do believe!  Please continue to pray and think good thoughts for the old boy, he has made it over 15 months with Congestive Heart Failure. 

He is on 20 mg. of Enalapril 2 times a day, 40 mg of Furosemide 2 times a day and 50 mg. of Spironolac 2 times a day. 

Sham is one tough & HAPPY boy that I have been honored to care for.

FDA Requests Seizure of Animal Food Products at PETCO Distribution Center

Today, at the request of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), U.S. Marshals seized various animal food products stored under unsanitary conditions at the PETCO Animal Supplies Distribution Center located in Joliet, Ill., pursuant to a warrant issued by the United States District Court in Chicago.

U.S. Marshals seized all FDA-regulated animal food susceptible to rodent and pest contamination. The seized products violate the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act because it was alleged in a case filed by the United States Attorney that they were being held under unsanitary conditions. (The Act uses the term "insanitary" to describe such conditions).

During an FDA inspection of a PETCO distribution center in April, widespread and active rodent and bird infestation was found. The FDA inspected the facility again in May and found continuing and widespread infestation.

"We simply will not allow a company to store foods under filthy and unsanitary conditions that occur as a direct result of the company's failure to adequately control and prevent pests in its facility," said Margaret O'K. Glavin, associate commissioner for regulatory affairs. "Consumers expect that such safeguards will be in place not only for human food, but for pet food as well."

The distribution center in Joliet, Ill., provides pet food products and supplies to PETCO retail stores in 16 states including Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin.

FDA has no reports of pet illness or death associated with consumption of animal food distributed by PETCO, and does not have evidence that the food is unsafe for animals. However, the seized products were in permeable packages and held under conditions that could affect the food's integrity and quality.

As a precaution, consumers who have handled products originating from the PETCO distribution center should thoroughly wash their hands with hot water and soap. Any surfaces that came in contact with the packages should be washed as well. Consumers are further advised as a precaution to thoroughly wash products sold in cans and glass containers from PETCO in the 16 affected states.

If a pet has become ill after eating these food products, pet owners should contact their veterinarian and report illnesses to FDA state consumer complaint coordinators.

Please consider donating to help us help the needy Labs, like Talen in the "More Information" link on the left.  LOLIN has donated money for his surgery.  We do more than many other rescues, we try to help as many Lab and Lab mixes as possible, even if they aren't our dogs.  But, remember, we can't save them all, especially without your donation!  It is quite evident that the economy is doing poorly, many more dogs are at the shelters and being dumped EVERYDAY, especially if the dog is sick or injured (just when they need the love of their owners the most) If you want to feel like you've helped, truly helped and touched a dog's life, please click on our donate button or mail a check to LOLIN, PO Box 237, Noblesville, IN 46061-0237.  Thank you and it is tax deductible, as we are a 501(c)3 non-profit PUBLIC CHARITY.  You can donate using the 'Donate' button at the very bottom of this page.  Thank you.

 OUR LATEST SPECIAL NEEDS NEW DOG, BELLA,

(her nickname is '2X4' since that is what her owner was going to use on her if we didn't take her within 24 hours.......)  OH, she's only about 8 months old, too, has a gum infection and a strained shoulder (maybe he went ahead and used that 2X4 even though we took her within the 24 hours).  You can see a couple of marks on her legs, and she limps and was unable to eat, but she's getting better everyday..............
