All my cats May have kidney failure from recalled food
I usually use natural Balance food for my cats and it really IS the best food I myself think anyway.Natural Balance Is NOT recalled Food.(Just to let you know...I still LOVE Natural Balance)
But I DID use the recalled food (Hannaford brand ,Walmart brand,Iams pouch ,and one other I cannot remember.Or 2 others.I have to look at the slip...in the past(Of Course NOT knowing it was BAD).
The only reaon I used it was because I had Mia...that was skin and bones...and she was tough to feed...so I bought her anything she would eat!
The cats could smell it in the mudroom where she was seperated for awhile so I gave them some every once in a while.
Me and Mike are so distraught over this.
But if you remember..I posted Lucy having some sort of a seizure...the way I can explain it is..her eyes looked black she started gazing aroung moving her arms around slowly like a slow motion picture...for about 2 minutes.She did not respond to me.She seemed weak for a few hours after then seemed fine.
She's been drinking EXTRA water that past couple months and seemed exhausted also.
I brought her in today to be tested.
Her pee has very little protein so that was good but:
Her BUN is High and her CREA is high.
I'm bringing in Marshall and Colby tomorrow.
Next week...we'll do more starting with Tucker,Sara and whoever I think had most of that *tainted* food...that I so stupidly gave them for a *treat*.
I always stoodby and STILL stand by Natural Balance Food...so hopefully the small amout of *other* food I gave them will not make them as bad as my newest cat Mia who wasd Already dying of Kidney failure.
I am more worried for the other cats...not Mia.
Mia was dying (It was obvious..plus I tested her)when I scooped her out of the shelter so that she could die in a home of love and comfort.
All my cats May have kidney failure from recalled food
:( Oh No = I would just be in rage/raggs about now.. Huggss & Prayers sent to you.. Keep us posted..
All my cats may have kidney failure
My prayers are being prayed for all of your furbabies to test out okay with the vet. Special prayers are being offered for Mia.
One of my co-workers lost her cat May-May because of tainted food. Sadly, she blames herself for giving May-May the bad food even though she had no idea that there was a problem.
We love our kitty companions and do all the right things to keep them healthy and safe. But now we worry about what we're putting in their food dishes! This situation should be thoroughly investigated and those responsible should be named and punished to the maximum the law allows! Quality control measures must be tightened up on all ingredients used to make pet food.
I strongly encourage everyone to sign the petition Medusa posted in Cat General demanding an investigation into this. All of our kitty companions were put at risk of becoming seriously sick or passing to the RB. We DESERVE answers!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:
