A friend of mine lost his/her dog to kidney failure two days ago. The dog was a small dog, eight years old. We're trying to establish what caused the kidney failure.
1. Has there been a rash of canine kidney failures?
2. Is it okay to post the name of the product(s) that the animal ate, or would we or Daily Kos get sued for libel? I don't know if this is widespread or not.
3. How is data collection done in such cases -- is there a regulatory authority or trade group or non-profit that this should be reported to?
