Default OT - Pet Food Recall
There has been a large recall on cat and dog food - cans and pouches, not the dry. Some pets have experienced vomiting and kidney failure, and according to one newspaper, about 10 pets have died so far.

They think it might be from an ingredient they started getting from a new supplier.

Includes Eukanuba, Authority, Iams, lots of others...

I saw that in the paper today! (I never read the paper but picked it up at a friend's house. Wow!)

This makes me SO thankful that I make homemade animal food!

I can't even imagine losing one of my animals so unnecessarily.

They're thinking it may be due to changing mfctrs of wheat gluten ... many vets think wheat gluten doesn't belong in pet food.

Ooo my son's cat
was very ill before Xmas with vomiting .. he took her to the vet
and $800 later they told him she had bacterial hepatitis! She had been
previously diagnosed with kidney problems (malformed kidneys congenitally).

Now I wonder? The IVs the emergency vets gave her pulled her out of it.
(antibiotics and electrolytes)

He uses Eukanuba pouches!

Well, I'm not a vet but I definitely think gluten shouldn't be in pet food, either!

--what DogtorJ might have to say about this (and is he currently dealing with any food-sickened pets)?
