It seems recently after the first recall, more nad more companies are recalling some products, probaly due to poor testing and less stringent regulations (but I am not sure so I cannot be the one to point finger). But anyways, I want to know how long this has gone on for. I know for one my dog had 3 pouches of one of the recalled foods still unused, who knows how many consumed. But really, what about the packages that we've fed in the past, obviously they can't be recalled and they companies have't really commente how far back this goes.
I recall a specific event, I had a 7 year old Siamese cat that was left in my driveway. I had her almost 3 years at the time of the event. We went on vacation and had a family friend live at the house to care for all the animals. We were gone one week and the cat was fed a differnt food than normal because the women isn't really a pet person, so she isn't too keen on food selection and the purpose of differnt types of foods. Upon returning there was an obvious difference in the cat. After less than a week of returning the cat needed a vet visit, she was doing so bad, she was put on all types of medicines* including multiple IV bags which we ultimately had to adminster at home.. Her liver was failing and eventually did in under another week, leaving us with a dead cat and 3800 in medical bills... Now I'm a bit angered with this recent string of recalls, and I want to know if this dates back to two years ago when this happened. She was an otherwise VERY healthy cat. About 3 months after that we had a cat who was 4 years old, and very big (over 15 pounds with little "bellie jiggle", he was extremely healthy, muscular and well able to defend himself, he basically hadn't been acting the same, went out one day and never came back.. Both extremly suspicious being the cats are probaly more cared for than I am.
Has anyone else had an animal die in recent years due to this liver failure? I cannot think I'd be the only one, either way it's a good idea to get all of our pets throughally checked out, I for one am.
