Massive recall of dog AND cat food - Page 5

Morrigoon mentioned that one a few posts up.

Sammy been upchucking since yesterday, but I think it's just hairballs. We only feed him Purina One Urinary tract health formula (kibble), but he does like the Whiskas semi-moist cat chicken cat treats. I'll get some malt in him and see if that helps. Still, I'm a bit nervous now. We love all our animals to distraction, and it is so heartbreaking to see all the poor sick dogs and cats out there now. If this can be traced to any sort of malicious actions, I hope the sick bastard/s responsible get it good. If it is something unforeseen and/or accidental, then I hope the companies that are handling this appropriately don't get slammed too badly.

KB- I hope your babies are okay!!!!!

Susan just called with (mostly) good news. Moglet doesn't have anything caused by the recalled food. She DOES have tapeworm, but the vet says that wouldn't be causing the diarrhea. We are going to treat the tapeworm and then see what happens from there.

I would expect that these two are related. Hopefully once you get them back on a normal schedule this will all clear up.

Well, I was just joking on the first one ya know. We never interupted their feeding schedule.

Here's the link for the brands from the FDA website.

Thank goodness I'm using Purina, so far has not shown up on any list.

We use Purina Cat Chow Indoor Formula. Thankfully, hardly any dry foods have shown up on the list. I used to think I was a bit mean for not feeding wet food at all, but now I'm happy I don't.

Today they are saying it may have been deliberate. Here is the link http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18210224...15773?GT1=9303

Last night, on the news, they mentioned that it had even turned up in pig feed. They said that it was at a hog farm in "Sear-us." I just stared at the tv. How hard is it to pronounce city names correctly? Ceres is not pronounced Searus.
