My Lucy
 

Starting yesterday, Lucy has been vomiting and dizzy and not herself. Today I decided to check again the pet recall list. Her food has been added. Last week I was reassured by Petsmart that since her food was not on the list, it was safe.

Tonight, I took her to the emergency clinic and they told me she had renal failure with 85% kidney failure. She is staying the night, I coughed up $500 and will know tomorrow if it is even worth the trouble of a week of diluting her kidney. She will NEVER be back to normal. The best case scenario: a year of her life, with daily injections to flush her kidney out.

She had her senior check up less than a year ago and they said she was in PERFECT condition, no problems at all. She has been eating Nutro Ultra Senior for months now that she has been refusing dry food. Without dilution, she may not last a week. I am so angry at Petsmart whose website insists they have NO customers who have been affected. I am upset at Menufoods who says only 16 customers have been affected. Do the research, look online and you will find thousands of people with DEAD pets. You will find families who have lost ALL their cats and pets at once. And only 3 people are suing and it claims that those three have unrelated deaths. BS! They just have good lawyers that can wiggle out of it.

I have spent hundreds to thousands on Lucy because she likes to eat chocolate, she likes to eat cat poop, she had ear infections with a burst ear drum a few months ago. And what causes her to be sick now? Something I can't control, something that can't be fixed. I spend extra money to make sure she is getting the BEST FOOD I can afford, and it disappoints me that this is what happens. She is the healthiest beagle I have seen at 15 and my vet was shocked at how healthy she was. Wait till he hears tomorrow (he isn't open weekends, so she is at an emergency clinic).

I have left my name and number with both Menufoods, the company who somehow got rat poision into the canned food, and Nutro, the individual company of food she ate. What can be done? No amount of money will EVER pay for Lucy to get better. This really is a shame. I just don't understand. How could something like this happen?

Oh wish, I'm so very sorry. :(

(((wish)))

Oh no, not your Lucy! I am so sorry Wish. :(

I'm so sorry wish....:hug:
Poor Lucy :(

OMG (((Wish))). I am SO very sorry. This is terrible. My heart breaks for you.

Every time I buy canned food I cringe and watch my cats closely.

My mom buys a WalMart brand and it was recalled. She went to WalMart and there it was on the shelf. She asked for a manager and the manager said, "Oh, those were supposed to be taken off the shelf, I'm sorry."

Wish I am so sorry. I pray that Lucy recovers.

Doody...typical Walmart!

(((WISH)))) I am so sorry to hear this.
How absolutely devestating for you.

Our news in Canada is telling us that they have added more to the list of pet foods that contained the whey flour that was tainted with rat poison.

Oh Wish....nothing you do will change what has happened but I so agree that they shouldn't just get away with it. I know you and I know that you will do the right thing for Lucy....you have given her the best home and all the love anyone can give a pet. I am just so sorry that you have to have the end of her days be so horrific. :hug: I know that I've seen pictures of her in the past...can you post one for us here?

Biggest of hugs Wish.

This isn't the best photo but it's the one I use on my cell phone and I don't have time now to scan another since i have to go meet with the vet. wish me luck...

Thank you for posting this Wish...she is such a sweetheart. I hope you aren't going to the vet apt. alone. Sending you positive thoughts and prayers. :hug:

(((Wish))) I'll be thinking of you all day long.

I'll be thinking of you and lucy also{{{{wish}}}}
She is a cutie..

Wish posted over in the pet forum. They're giving Lucy another 24 hours because her high count suddenly turned around and is going down. Praying for Wish and Lucy!

Had to break my vow here. :o

Wish, my heart breaks for you. :( You're both in my prayers.

what vow kathy?

come back and post --this forum is fine

i was banned from bt this week for a day or so

and as far as i know ,i and you are not now banned

Thanks for thinking of us, please don't stop. . . we are hanging in until Monday and hopefully these extra few days will give her some time to heal herself, or else Monday will be her last day if her levels don't go lower. I am very worried about all the changes that keep happening with this pet recall: Alpo added, Prescription Diets m/d added, rat poison is now melamine- a plastic?, so much new information is coming out, but it isn't even the whole story.

((Wish)) I posted some good links for you over in the Pet forum. Many hugs, love and prayers.

Keep us posted on how Lucy is doing {{{{{{wish}}}}}}}}
Keeping you girls in my prayers!
