I think you're both right, DogtorJ, and Mrs. Doubtfyre!

On TV today, they said that one lab says it's rat poison (and is sticking to their findings), but another lab has recently found a chemical called Melamine in BOTH moist & dry pet foods! The Melamine is used in the making of plastics.

One news rumor said that the Melamine was in the "wheat gluten" that is imported from China.

There is now concern that the Melamine may have also entered the human food chain!

Frankly, from all of this terrible suffering and death of the animals and their human companions (now HUNDREDS of deaths are being reported), I recommend avoiding all pet foods, both moist and dry, at this time, period, and feed the same good quality (and gluten & milk-free) people food to your pets, as you eat, trying to reproduce something like they would eat in the wild.

For sick animals, in addition to getting them to a good vet right away, if they are able to eat--then, perhaps an organic baby food that is gluten-free & milk-free, could help, in addition to medical care.

Today, the story has expanded, and it's really sad.
