Hi all.
I know there is another thread about the pet food recall but I wanted to make sure you guys all know about this and are careful with your little fur-babies
My 4yr old Bengal Benny was put to sleep on Feb. 10th due to having 90% kidney failure. At that time neither the vets or us knew what happened to Ben. It happened very quickly like the news says. On the 7th he just stopped eating the next morning he threw up. I remember because I cleaned it up. We thought maybe he was just having a hairball problem because sometimes he would. But by the 9th he was crying so loud and just kept walking around the house. We took him to the vet on Saturday and then had to put him down.
Ben was eating IAMS "Dry" food for indoor cats.
He was also eating Friskies wet food (this is not on the recall list).
I find it strange that he died the same way all these poor other pets have died but by eating Iams dry food and not their wet food.
We still have the food and am contacting the FDA.
Please be careful about the dry food as well. I was reading on CBS NEWS website and there are other pet owners on there posting comments about their pets dying from kidney failure and they were just feeding them the DRY food.
