Bengalmom and Kim,

Did you know that Hill’s has changed the name and formula of their c/d dry?

Oops - that last comment to Peggy (referencing a dog) was meant to be to Trudy. Must drink coffee before posting!

Peggy - thanks for the info. I fed my 5 kitties-that-are-now-angels a lot of Friskies (along with Nutro) - so this’ll be my next focus.

Thanks Kim, (But I don’t have a dog, just 7 cats) I wrote a bunch over at Itchmo. Mostly in this thread: http://itchmoforums.com/index......73#msg1373 That will give you a start. I’ll write to you and fill in details; and I can send you copies of the emails back and forth with Purina. I can also scan the X-ray report that tells about mineralization (crystals) on his kidney and fluid in his lungs.
Mine just had the Friskies but I’ve talked to others that seem to have the troubles with Fancy Feast. Some discussion about Fancy Feast here: http://itchmoforums.com/index......29#msg2329 I’ll try to track down where I saw more about Fancy feast after I get the other things off to you.
Thanks!

Peggy - feel free to email me with details on your other kitty and your dog (and/or to add details about the ones I do have posted.) I’ll post as much or as little as you like.

And I’m SO sorry for your losses. My heart goes out to you. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Not yet Peggy, I haven’t come across that many reports of them. (But, I haven’t Googled those yet - it takes a while because I search all sorts of combinations of words that commonly occur in these types of comments/reports)

If you know of some Friskies/Fancy Feast reports, I’d love to have them. Email me at pft@playingbig.com, or just post links here.

Thanks!

Thanks Kim, I see mine are posted there. I also think I lost my beautiful Cinnamon bengal- 2d best HHP in the south east because of the cat food. also, My dog was at the vets all last week because of Purina Beneful. My friend just gave Me a small bad of nutro multicat dry food. they started vommiting so I got rid of it.

Kim, have you done a piece on Purina’s Friskies and Fancy Feast? There seems to be problems with those as well…
