Veterinarians, owners angered by farm lobby muzzling of FDA canine heart data as cases rise. Biden admin transparency?

No individual at the FDA or at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has yet provided any basis for refusing to release canine DCM quantity of reports received, and it has now been more than eighteen months since the FDA last provided such data, saying then that it had received “1100 + reports of canine DCM between January 1, 2014 and July 31, 2020.”

Press feasts on dog ‘death by rat urine’ lepto rumors — but NYC Health Dept. spox says no cases reported

Press feasts on dog ‘death by rat urine’ lepto rumors — but NYC Health Dept. spox says no cases reported

This report has been updated to include a statement we received around 6pm ET on January 26 from acting press secretary Michael Lanza at NYC’s Department of Health: “The Health Department so far cannot confirm recent reports of canine leptospirosis related to McCarren Park. We have not received reports of leptospirosis in dogs from Brooklyn this year. The Health Department has reached out proactively to several veterinary hospitals in the area, none of which have seen cases so far this year.”
“‘Multiple’ dogs may have been sickened by rat-transmitted illness,” ABC affiliate WABC-TV reported Monday. However, in New York City, Health Department officials have not confirmed even one case involving the illness. And we’re not trying to pick on bloggers, but there’s a reason our only blogger is Nellie the Labrador: One blog declared a leptospirosis “outbreak” as early as last week, apparently scooping The Canine Review, and even The New York Times. In fact, the blogger’s source on “outbreak” is city councilman Lincoln Restler, who is not, in fact, on the payroll of any health department.

FDA continues to stonewall vets and dog owners on canine DCM data. Did farm lobby get senators to muzzle regulators?

One reason for the atypical FDA resistance could be because in 2020 Dr. Solomon, the FDA CVM director, made what he apparently believed was a private vow to the pet food industry not to issue any more updates about DCM in dogs following pressure that was applied by a group of farm state senate Republicans (and Democrat Jon Tester of the farm state of Montana) in a letter to then FDA Commissioner Hahn.
