Question:
- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I don’t know how many people out there have cats, but there has been a recall of several brands of cat food. Apparently, some cats have actually died. I beleive there’s also some sort of recall on dog food too. http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/03/17/petfood.recall.ap/index.html Yep, it’s for many brands of "wet" dog and cat food which comes in cans and packages. Our dogs eat one of the brands, but they eat the "dry" dog food. It’s unknown what the toxin is in the pet food, but it causes kidney failure in pets. Cats are about 9 times more likely to develope the problem than dogs. (for reasons unknown to me) Chip We’re now thinking that our MIL’s dog wasn’t poisoned by a person, but the food she was eating was on the list. I wish we would have had an autopsy done, darn it. We were too upset at the time to even think of having it done. kili her symptoms did not match renal failure-I don’t think that is what caused her death-she was impacted by a faster acting neurotoxin of some kind Okay, thanks, Margrove. I appreciate that, ’cause we’re so upset and we don’t want to feel like it was our fault. kili no one who has fed their dog food that was poisoned by a self regulalting food system need blame themselves. There are things in life that we have little control over. In the case of your mil’s dog, she exhibited typical symptoms of a neurotoxin, which could be anything from a poisoning that was deliberate, or not, or a spider bite, a snake bite, or possibly an infection that was not picked up prior to symptoms. They cannot tell us how they feel-so we rely on our instincts and observations. The pet food problem is astronomically tragic because this system is unregulated, pets are viewed as property so law suits againts the feed companies are impossible. Right now the only thing motivating this feed company is potential loss of income from sales and returns frmo large retailers. How this happened, the time it took to report it, the actions taken to control it and the reasons for it to hapen in the first place are criminal. People are spending more money for premium foods that are prepared by the same company who prepares the less expensive ones all with the same binders and ingredients. This is tantemount to shopping at Niemen Marcus for gap clothes. The whole thing sickens me really.and I have made my positon known to Iam’s whose products I have used for better then two decades-I may start making my own food for my dog, simply out of principle let alone safety. Kili in light of the new info that came out about aminopterin being the cause of the food poisoning it is almost guaranteed your mil’s dog was an end result of eating contaminated food-most often the chemical causes fatal renal failure or liver failure but in large doses can cause neurotoxicity and seizures-if your Vet can write a leter of cause of death and you provide the unused or used containers of dog food to menu foods-they will at least pay the vet bill-a minor consolation but something
Thanks, Margrove. kili — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm

::I guess, if you want to be safe, buy human tunafish and canned meats. People should talk to their vets first before feeding their furbabies "human" food. I know canned tuna fish is not good for cats except as an ocassional treat.

You’re right some foods aren’t good for animals that are perfectly healthy for people. I think garlic and onions, grapes, raisins aren’t good for dogs. kili — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm

I guess, if you want to be safe, buy human tunafish and canned meats. I guess most of the tainted food is the canned soft food. I NEVER give my dog canned food. It is bad for her teeth. Animals develop a perference for soft food when they are overpapered. My dog gets Kibbles and Bits and she loves it. I still have a two week supply so this problem should blow over before I have to buy more dog food. — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm
