My heart goes out to you. This may sound hard and please forgive me but do you still have your Cuddles body? Am I reading that correctly? If you do have the body, and are willing, maybe you can help a lot of pets and pet parents. Make the loss of your pet mean something besides pain, maybe turn it into hope. Would you be willing to do that? The news story, what paper, where? Kelly, please let us help you and help us get these jerks. Do NOT, DO NOT post your contact info here , but if you are willing to help we can work out some sort of way to get our emails to each other and I will pay to have Cuddles shipped to a testing facility and returned to you ready for burial or cremation. I am sorry to have to be so blunt , in your time of grief, but this may be a chance that we can't pass up. Kelly, sorry to hear of your loss.
My heart goes out to you.

If in fact the FDA is holding contaminated product and the company under scrutiny supplies flimsy reports, that may be all they need for a criminal investigation. And any other steps that are appropriate to insure this stuff doesn't sneak around the established protocols of international shipping. Bottom line is China has them a major credibility crisis.

FDA, tell us are the melamine crystals in that raw product? If not, did it get adulterated after entry but before delivery to the pet food companies? We want/need answers.

So far, it doesn't sound like we can even determine at what level the melamine becomes toxic, right?

I am really starting to think most of our pets have some level of toxin or poison in them. I think Lois mentioned this a few days ago. I also think this has been going on longer than we are being told. Yes, it does DeeAnn. I am really starting to think most of our pets have some level of toxin or poison in them.

I do not want a cover up to take place, in other words for Menu Foods (and the others) to place blame somewhere else if that is not the case. I am trying to keep track of when symptoms occurred. Some animals have (self-reported, I know) become sick or died after minimal exposure. Others have reported many cans/pouches eaten then all of a sudden there are problems. Others have the food in their possession and believe to have fed it to pets with no symptoms showing. This information if correct, points strongly to an additive placed into the recipe at the manufacturing plant. No?

It seems we are dealing more with a French Connection like scenario then we are an honest and transparent distribution system with the appropriate legal checks and balanced installed along the route.
