It is my understanding that Diamond is asking that everyone take all
of their food back to the dealer for full refund so Diamond can
analyze it and dispose of it properly. If have any opportunity, please
get the word out to keep at least a pound from different portions of
the open bag. This is vitally important, as there is no characteristic
laboratory profile for aflatoxicosis. It's absolutely needed to
confirm the diagnosis!  Anyone whose dog is suspected of becoming ill
or dying from injesting this food  also needs to send off tissue
samples from the dead animal or have full autopsy, and the sooner
after its demise the better.

Google Alerts has the following information - and it is continuously
being updated:

cross post.
