This is an alert from the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association. We know some of our clients buy chicken jerky treats for their dogs. The questionable ones are made in China. Please be wary.  Here's the notice.   Recently, several veterinarians in Ontario have reported cases of dogs that have been showing signs similar to Fanconi syndrome. All dogs in the reported cases had been fed chicken jerky treats that were manufactured in China.Signs of Fanconi syndrome can include decreased appetite, decreased activity, vomiting, and increased water consumption and/or increased urination. Blood tests may show increased urea nitrogen and creatinine.  Urine tests may indicate Fanconi syndrome (increased glucose). The problem is that this can be confused with diabetes.  If you suspect this condition, please have your pet examined.
