For those of us who have a four-legged furry friend, you might want to lay off the jerky dog treats, particularly ones made in China.  According to an FDA report on Tuesday, a mysterious illness is tied to these treats.  About 600 dogs have died and thousands have been sick due to the treats.  FDA officials do not know what exactly is causing the deaths or illnesses.  The FDA warns pet owners to be aware of their animal’s behavior.  If signs of decreased appetite, sluggishness, vomiting, diarrhea, and others occur in your pet after eating jerky treats, report it to your state’s FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator: http://www.fda.gov/safety/reportaproblem/consumercomplaintcoordinators/default.htm
