So was anyone on this site greatly affected...I check posts all day but I don't remember seeing anyone have a pet not make it through or get sick?! |
How heartbreaking. That picture of Pebbles is hard to look at. |
That poor baby. :( |
I feel so bad for the owner of Pebbles...and everyone else who had to deal with this horrible incident. |
I feel like I just got kicked in the gut! That POOR POOR baby and his/her family. That photo is heart-wrenching. Reminds me of my own little guy when he was so sick. (NOT related to the food tainting.) If you've ever had a baby in ICU, you no doubt know that pitiful look and are familiar with the sight of the IV leg ... |

I can't imagine how many people are dealing with the same such emotional pains - pets dying and not even knowing what happened. And then they blame themselves - I know I have... Did he not have enough water? Did I not feed him enough? Did he get infected with something while going outside to pee? Did I expose him to something in the house? My heart hurts for all those little pets involved - canine or feline, yorkie or not. And my heart hurts for all those owners who are now missing a part of their lives forever.... |
Kinda makes me wonder what else that wheat gluten ended up in. SCARY! It's funny how so many pups have been sick lately, with no firm diagnosis. I wonder if it's in other foods that they aren't mentioning:eek:? |

OMG That is so sad. The look on Pebble's little face is way too familiar for me....Vivi has been so sick and dealing with kidney issues related to her liver shunt...I know how devastating that look can be. At this moment her little legs are cut in the lion style as well ...I feel so bad for the owners and pets affected by this tragedy. To think you are trying to feed your pet a healthy diet and now worry that you may have accidentally poisoned them...it is a nightmare. |
Well, my vet said the poison is mostly causing kidney failure, and they were finding more signs pointing towards a liver shunt in Baby Caddo - so he said his educated guess would rule out the food poisoning. That kinda makes me feel a little better in that he didn't die because I gave him food that poisoned him - although if that were it, knowing would probably help put closure to the whole thing, too. Still, I can't quit thinking of all those sick pets and heart-broken humans... |
I am so sorry about baby caddo but you do not need to blame yourself...you were a wonderful mother. some of these things are out of our hands... |
I remember reading your sad post about baby Caddo......and you saying it was kidney failure.......I've been thinking about you since the first post I read about the recall.......were you feeding him any of the foods on the list? |
This is just awful thank god i hadnt started feeding my dogs soft food yet. And my cats only eat dry food. My mother in laws cat was affected but last i knew it was still alive but still very ill. Shes had it at teh vet twice and left it tehre the second time to get more tests and to get better. This isnt fair to pet owners to have to lose their pets just because they fed them so food they didnt know was bad. |
That is horrible! I'm soo glad I don't feed my dogs wet food...I would be heartbroken if something happened to them, they are so little. :( I feel so bad for all the animals that have died because of this and for their owners also. |
Lastest news: the recall is expanding more brands will be added; scientists warn that more pets will die. Menu Foods says they will re-imburse medical expenses for those affected. |
I read that too and i think it said that it was about 95 brands now. There are lawsuits already being filed as you can imagine. They also said that they do expect a lot more to die as many of the packages are STILL ON THE SHELVES!! :eek: I wonder if microwaving it will kill off the toxin?? I keep my kibbles in the frig and always nuke it for about 8 seconds just to get the chill off of it. .....Linda |
So sad |
This is so sad and scary. I\'ll be praying for families going through the loss of their beloved pet. A recall is a companys worst nightmare. I work for a manufacturing company in the supply chain department and that is one thing that we don\'t ever want to experience. A recall hurts a company financially. Not only is it going to cost them money to pay vet bills but it is also costing them LOADS of money to recall the product. Thats an instant fine. |
I have to wonder if it was not contaminated canned Nutro Ultra Puppy that was giving Gracie repeated bouts of diarrhea. She has not had diarrhea since I stopped feeding her that canned food about a month or so ago. OMG. I wonder if I should take her in to have her kidney function checked? She seems fine, but... I also have 3 cans of Nutro Max Gourmet canned cat food. They are not on the recall list, but I don\'t trust them. I was going to throw them away but I think I may hang onto them, or at least the labels. Good thing the cats did not like it and would not eat it! Sometimes I think animals know best. |
