Hello everyone,

I posted this question in LL but thought it was appropriate for the health board as well. I left out Wellness with an ice cube on top for about 9 hours. Ella didn't eat any while I was gone. I placed it on the counter when I got home, meaning to ditch it right away but got distracted. When I got back to the kitchen it was gone! About 1/4 of a can! Not sure who ate it but what are the consequences of eating food that has been left out all day? Diahhrea or something worse?

Thanks so much :smile:
 
Thanks Larry! I just got off the phone with my vet and she wasn't that concerned either.
 
Mine sometimes eat canned that is closer to 12 hours old with no problems at all, in the wild, big cats will eat for days off a single kill so I think they are pretty adept at handling foods that are less than fresh.

Some of my civvies actually prefer day old canned food ... probably because it has dried up into crumbles like kibble!
