US petfood recall...Leia and Onyx

[dandysmom]

For those who didn't read yesterday's thread about this, two of the brands, Iams and Priority, that they eat were among those recalled. I was worried sick, of course, but so far everything seems to be OK with them both. Did a lot of research on line last night, and the symptoms are: lassitude, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, excessive urination and excessive water intake. None of which they have! Especially lack of appetite: Leia was just pestering me for a snack way earlier than the time for her afternoon snack, and Onyx practically inhaled her lunch! It may be too early to relax...nothing was said about when symptoms appear.... but have my fingers crossed that they'll continue well. Good vibes would be appreciated!!!

The batches that were recalled were made between December and March...they've been eating it all along, so I would think that if they were going to be ill from it, some signs would have appeared by now... ....it's the beef in gravy, turkey in gravy and chicken in gravy that they like and have eaten....

It must be a worrying time for you Eileen, I would have thought you'd have noticed some symptoms by now if anything was wrong.

All the same, buckets loads of good vibes are on their way to Leia and Onyx.........
((((hugs))))

Thanks for your concern, all! It's very worrying; you think you're feeding them good quality food that they like, and then something like this happens... several of the articles mentioned that more dogs than cats experienced kidney failure...not being at all familiar with dogs, don't know if they're more susceptible to renal failure, or if it's a difference in the formulas of the foods....none of this was mentioned in anything I could find on line.....

OMG what a worry for you Eileen. Why are the foods being recalled? I mean what exactly is the problem with them that they are causing renal failure in cats and dogs?

Loads of good vibes sent your way for both Onyx and Leia. xxx

[Fran]

What a worry for you Eileen Is there a helpline that you can phone? There must be a lot of very worried owners right now. Loads and loads of very good vibes being sent across the pond for Leia and Onyx x

They have been vague, very vague as to exactly what the problem is, but did mention that they had been using a new supplier of wheat gluten. I don't know anything about wheat gluten but it's listed as an ingredient on every tin and pouch of food I have...
