I went away with my entire family on vacation for my daughters wedding for a week. I left my dog with a freind, and my 11 year old orange tabby at home, for my neighbor to watch. My cat has never ever been sick a day in his life. when I came back on April 22nd. My cat wouldn’t eat, but drank alot. Thinking it was stress from being away, I didn’t worry. But after 3 days, he still wouldn’t eat, and was bringing up byo. I took him to the vet on Thursday., they took blood sample and gave some medicine. The next day I took him back they keep him for the day and had him on IV, and force feed him. the blood sample came back saying his kidneys weren’t functuating properly, and his calcium was elavated. they wouldn’t confirm if it was his food. he now is doing poorly, and is still being force feed, and will have to go back to the vet. two days and medication has cost me over $500.00 so far and I’m sure it’s the food. he has been eating for years fancy feast soft can ( cod and sole, and salmon feast) plus he eats Iams for weight control and mature cats. I called these conpany’s telling me it’s safe to use. then why suddenly is my cat so sick?
I also use Royal Cainn dasuchund dry food for my dog, as well as Nutrience, he so far is fine. I wonder is anyone knows if these products I use for my cat are truly safe. The vet told me not to use them and to use the vets food which is medi-cal royal cainn formula.
I don’t want my cat to die this way, hope someone knows what I can do to help him.

HEY, PET FOOD COMPANYS-
IF YOU GOING USE WHEAT, YOU KNOW IT IS STILL GROWN AND SOLD IN THE USA, WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO PUT AMERICAN FARMERS OUT BUSINESS??? ALL YOU ARE DOING IS KILLING OUR PETS AND KILLING OUR FARMERS BY BUYING OVER SEAS TAINTED PRODUCT.
I SAY TO ALL OF US IN USA, WE NO LONGER BUY ANY FOOD FOR PETS OR OUR SELVES UNLESS IT IS GROWN IN USA.ON TOP THAT, WE NO :LONGER WANT YOU TO PUT WHEAT AND CORN IN OUR PETS FOOD. THEY NEED REAL PROTEIN FROM REAL MEATS NOT FROM GRAIN FILLERS.

Carole - I recall, off the top of my head, something about Pedigree, but I can’t recall which it was. Have you taken a look at the recall listings here at Itchmo???? They are quicker here for that info then anyone else, I’ve found. I don’t have the list handy near me….it’s in the kitchen. I’ve done so many updates to it, that it started to all be a blur about a week ago. I know Eukanuba also had things recalled, but again, can’t recall which. Please take a look at the entire list here at Itchmo…better to be safe than sorry! Even though our OM (made by Purina) and Friskies “solid” type were NOT on the recall, I’ve just been afraid to use them. Neither have wheat gluten, but with the way they keep adding items, how can a person ever feel secure? I even went researching the vitamins that you add to “home” food ….trying to be sure that the producer didn’t have a bad record. At $1.50 a can for Newman’s….gosh, it’s a lot of money for two cats….but I feel trapped…..it’s that or take a chance rolling the dice on the cats! We’re not having a big problem getting the two dogs to eat other things…but the cockapoo has a “fussy” digestive system and he’s so little that we’re afraid he’ll dehydrate. I went to the site www.earthanimal.com to try to get food that was more organic, and found the Newmans. - Eileen

All 4 of my cats are on Royal Canin Control Formula wet plus Eukanuba LoPH dry. I think some Eukauba dry food was recalled but when I tried checking with their website when this whole thing started “they were conveniently down” for several days. I never did find out if the Eukanuba Vet diets were recalled. As for the Royal Canin, if one is on the list that makes me worry about the royal canin I’m feeding my 4. So far the only good news is my dog is on Pedigree wet and dry and as far as I know that has escaped all noteriety. Has anyone had any experience with Pedigree being recalled?

Martin - Well, I’ve now got endless cans of the “solid” type Friskies, even though wheat gluten isn’t on the label as it is in the pouches. I just don’t feel confident. And am the proud owner (DARN!) of 12 pounds of Blue Buffalo, which I’ve seen some negative info on with the K3. In a final denting of my credit card, I went over to order a case of Paul Newman’s Turkey and Veggies for the two cats. My husband is pulling out what hair he has left over his cockapoo.,,…who get all discombobulated eating anything except Little Caesars, and doesn’t take to switching very well. My son’s collie/huskie mix is doing fine with Blue Buffalo, and I hate to tell him maybe he should switch over to Newmans too….at least all of them in one house will then be on one thing! I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ve been a mess since this started, have done little next to nothing here at home except spend hours online looking for info, since I’m always afraid something will get recalled and I won’t know it right away. The one thing I’m happy about is that where we live - in the north boondocks of Maine, it’s snowing (again)and there isn’t much to do anyway. I just hope and pray that the cats will eat the Newman’s which should arrive by Monday. PLEASE tell me that Newman’s doesn’t have anything “questionable” in it!

I’m in the same boat here with the OM for one of my pup’s. The canine OM has wheat gluten in it along with the OM bone treats so I have stopped feeding it. I purchased some Kumpi, Canadie, Natural Balance & made my some food which the pup’s love but cat’s are a different story. One of my cat’s loves what I made up but the other wont touch it. She will eat the Natural Balance kibble though. I’m to scared to use any Purina products right now. Mainly because most contain Wheat Gluten and Menu does manufacture some of their food. My thought is: if a company uses Menu for ANYTHING,…I wont purchase it. I dont know anything about Blue Buffalo. My mom’s cat’s wont eat anything but Friskies which contains wheat gluten as well. A CAT MUST EAT! If a cat goes for several day w/o food other problems arise per my vet. Why do they put wheat gluten in stuff anyway?????

Okay….I hate to ask you all this, what with all you are already doing (And God Bless YOU for doing this work!), but some advice, please?? Our vet has been doing special food orders for their patrons, so they don’t have to deal with store bought during all this. Both of my “chubbies” aka orange tabby cats, eat the OM (overweight management)formula made by Purina, containing NO wheat gluten, but it does have wheat flour. They’ve been checked with a urine test and all is fine (they had eaten IAMS also, and I found one bag at least that was recalled that they’d eaten the weekend before the recall). I’m concerned….is the OM formula from the vet okay? The other part of their daily meals is from Blue Buffalo…bought via “earthanimal”. So far, they turn up their noses at home-made food, even the chicken and brown rice. One won’t eat human food at all, while the other is a regular garbage can that sees fit to stick his paw or face into anything and everything YOU”RE eating, but won’t touch chicken and brown rice. Please….do you think the OM is okay and the Blue Buffalo? I’m really going nuts with this…..we have both dogs doing great with their food, but the cats are really worrying me. Any advice….thank you! Again..;.God bless you folks for doing the best job on the planet of keeping the info going! - Eileen
