Prescription Diet(TM) m/d(TM) Feline Dry Food, Only Product Containing Wheat Gluten.
Hill's Pet Nutrition, Inc. is voluntarily recalling Prescription Diet
m/d Feline dry food from the market. Hill's is taking this precautionary
action because during a two-month period in early 2007, wheat gluten for
this product was provided by a company that also supplied wheat gluten to
Menu Foods. U.S. Food and Drug Administration tests of wheat gluten samples
show the presence of a small amount of melamine.
Recalled products U.S. & Canada UPC* Size
Prescription Diet(TM) m/d(TM) Feline dry food 52742 42770 4 lb. bag
Prescription Diet(TM) m/d(TM) Feline dry food 52742 42790 10 lb. bag

SO Yes contact your vet.

This is soooo sad. :<

However, I hope something good comes out of all of this... people become aware of the shady practices of so many low quality/big name pet foods and boycott them.

My friend Christine was feeding her dog, Panda, W/D shortly before this. I convinced her to feed Evo instead, and we were just talking about "what if" she had continued feeding W/D. I just found out my friend Avan's adorable GSD mix named Ginger is sick from being fed Iams, and might pass away.
