Does anyone now the symptoms of melamine poisoning? Im curious because my moms Yorkie eats Science Diet Senior canned food. She is going to switch to diamond canned or something else but I don't know what to tell her to feed him. He is 13 years old and I worry about him. He hasn't been sick or anything I'm just wondering. Thanks Everyone!

From what I have read the symptoms are:
Loss of appetite, Vomiting, Lethargy.
Early signs of kidney failure can also include increased water consumption, and increased urine production.

You may want to check kidney function thru blood work just in case for early detection.

A full blood panel can be expensive, but I decided to err on the side of caution and get one today for Drum, who unexpectedly lost bladder control this morning.
If your dog is acting weird, and you are concerned about commercial dog food, I think for your own peace of mind a visit to the vet is a good idea.

I don't blame you. I would have done the same thing. As expensive as it can get its my first step when I suspect a problem or am monitoring a dog with issues. Thank god for plastic!
