SUPER! :cat:
Thank you for asking.

I just read something from a FB group that makes me wonder... https://www.facebook.com/groups/DuncanStrong/?ref=share

And that there's an issue with Purina food! Admin of the group writes:
"Other foods Post: Since 12/5/23 in my Saving Pets One Pet @ A Time group on Facebook we have 784 dogs / cats (594 dogs, and 190 cats) in USA Ireland ,
UK,Serbia, Hungry & Canada that are sick from Purina, 180 of which have died. The problem seems to date back to May 2023. The common denominator was they were all eating Purina. Some of the homes and rescues have multiple pets who are impacted. This is just in one group. So we know the problem is widespread.The problem seems to date back to May 2023. I alerted 9 holistic vets and we started tracking the issues.
Our tracking showed that the concerns are with all Purina brands and now we also have many sick dogs and cats eating these foods:
*Purina
*Instinct
*Stella and Chewy
*Pure Balance
*Royal Canin
*Merrick
*Orijen
*Organix
*Taste of the Wild
*Hills
*Acana

Many pet food manufacturers get their ingredients and vitamin mixes from the same supplier. So when one food has an issue many others do as well. This is what happened during the Vitamin D toxicity recall in 2019. It started out with Hills and then more brands because they all bought from that supplier. My dog and thousands of other pets died from it. This is not hysteria, I assure you.
If you or someone you know is feeding this food (regardless of product line), I recommend you stop the food immediately. Do NOT wait until your pet gets sick or for the manufacturer to issue a recall. My dog Duncan died in 2019 from Hills Science Diet, 2 weeks BEFORE Hills issued the recall. Dogs/cats were sick for 6 months before the recall. I was the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit against Hills which we won.
These are only the foods we know of. However, just like in the Hills Science Diet, there ended up being many more. If one food is bad they often are all bad. The manufacturers do NOT have different quality control processes for different foods. None of these manufacturers has not issued a recall yet, even though many pet parents have notified them. Please do NOT take a chance with your pets life.

Symptoms: Lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle weakness and seizures, rapid weight loss , excessive urination, rectal bleeding, vomiting blood, red/yellow eyes , excessive urination

Take the following steps:
1.If your dog is having seizures, you can try CBD for dogs which often will help with seizures
2.. Stop the food immediately. Post in the group above what your pets current diet is and medical conditions and we will help you find a more nutritious and safer diet
3.. Save the pet food. Do NOT release it to Purina in any circumstances
4. If you pet dies, do not cremate them. Freeze the body so it could be used for further testing in a lawsuit
5. Contact your vet and request a copy of your pets medical record including blood work and x-rays. Ask the vet to report your concerns to the pet food manufacturer. Its likely that will not do this since they may get a commission from for selling the food
6. Report it to the FDA (https://truthaboutpetfood.com/report-a-suspect-risk-pet.../)
7. Report it to the pet food manufacturer
* Do NOT agree to send them the food. If you feel compelled to do so, only send a small portion. Keep the rest of the food in the freezer
* Do NOT send the medical records and x-rays to Purina (get a copy for yourself)
* Document your conversation with Purina
* The manufacturers may eventually say they will pay your vet bills and reimburse you for your pet food. If you agree to this they will ask you to sign a form which will prohibit you from taking legal action. Eventually, if there is a class action lawsuit you will be unable to join if you do this or if you want to file your own lawsuit. Contact Saving Pets One Pet @ A Time on Facebook for more advice
8. We are getting several of the pet foods tested, so pet parents don’t have to.We recommend you save your pet food in gallon sized bag frozen pulled with multiple hand grabs with clear identification. The rest of the bag stored rolled down and stored away from pets at room temperature (not freezing).
9. Can you provide me the name, lot number and expiration date of the food (respond to the survey below)
10. Send vet records to consult@drjudymorgan.com. Get copies of vet records including ANY diagnostic test results, digital X-rays, doc’s notes, age and breed. Food you are feeding and treats Do NOT provide them to Purina . They will use these records to try to determine the cause and also for the lawsuit.
Purina has already been notified by numerous pet owners and they have not done anything to alert unsuspecting pet parents. Other manufacturers may follow suit. Initially, there were offering to reimburse the pet owners for their pet food. Then they were offering pet parents $10 in coupons (which is what Hills offered me for my dead dog) and having a third party contact the pet parents. Now they are offering pet owners who call and say they will pay their vet bills if they agree to sign a confidentiality agreement and not sue. There is currently no recall because not enough people have reported it to the FDA . Purina is well aware there is a problem because so many people in this group have called them. Eventually, we may see pet food become “unavailable” on the store shelves. This is called a silent recall. The pet food manufacturer doesn’t want to admit there is a problem with the product, so they start pulling the products off the shelves quietly. (Hills did this for 60 days before the recall. If there is a class action lawsuit, are you interested?

Hi Joni, I’m so happy to hear Leo is eating! That best news. Sending lots of good vibes for eating well.
The toxic pet food situation is just awful!
I’m so glad I cook Ivy’s food at home. It’s worth all the time it takes me to do it!
I hope you both have a wonderful Caturday :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Hi Joni:)
Happy to hear Leo os eating!¨such great news.

Thank you for the food alert. I don't use any of these. but I do have quite a few boutique pet food makes around me which I've been thinking to explore and this post encourages me to not wait :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Google Sheets isn't letting me update Leo's SS on either ID, even after multiple manipulations, that eventually works, plus I restarted my phone, and still, "View Only." Making me crazy!

Thanks,
@Angela & Cleo, for asking--Leo is eating great!
For your kind words! @cecile & bella, and @Fistuk & Shelly

I'm suspecting Leo might be experiencing constipation... after the big poopido (found 1/11) and how he finally began to eat again. The vet called and we discussed Leo's last bloodwork, 12/19. She noticed my comment in the SS about the poopido and she said anything can set off high BGs in a diabetic cat and to watch for constipation and she would prescribe Miralax.... I'll use homeopathy before using that! I did go out to buy more baby food.... this time, pumpkin. Added some to his food. I'm just not sure how much or how often. I think something worked! Will investigate further in a minute. :smuggrin:
