It is very unlikely that the dog food was tainted. I worked in small animal practice for 10 years and did occasionally hear from people that thought their dog had been poisoned, when in fact, the animal became ill from a common virus, heart worm, or some other type of gastointestinal irritation i.e., changing dog foods, chewing up bones, getting into the garbage. I would encourage you to call your local veterinarian and describe the symptoms and give a good case history on your dog. They would be able to give you a better idea of what may have happened with that information.
