In retrospect, I believe he got sick from the cat food which were not on the recall list. His diet consisted of Fancy Feast Ocean Whitefish & Tuna, very rarely Savory Salmon or the green can, I think it may have been shrimp. Also, he ate various Science Diet dry foods. When he became more ill it was more apparent the wet food was making him throw up. Removed it from his diet but it was too late. Also, I must include at times I gave him small amounts of dry treats from a can and a very little bit for a short time cat vitamins. His diagnosis was eminate. He was dying of cancer. I haven't interpreted the lab reports to its entirety and now wished I would have done an autopsy on him to determine the real cause. In the future, if I decide to adopt other animals, I will be more educated and probably will make him his meals myself after thorough research of what is good for felines. After all, he was like my son and I would not feed my son canned foods as his primary meal.

He lost 60% of his weight in 3 months. The Vet blamed it on age yet we tried to make him understand that he would not eat,would not drink, was vomitting, was very weak. Our Smokey was seen by the Vet on a Thursday evening...received a vaccination, flushed him. Smokey suffered a severe diarrhea that weekend & died the next Tuesday Morning. :-(. There was nothing we could do. It happen so fast. Our 5 year old Pompon has been experiencing the same symtoms. The Vet is keeping him over night yet it does not look very promising.

She was murdered. Murdered by Wal-Mart who continued to sell the Bestro Chicken Jerky even though they knew it was tainted with Melamine. She became ill June 15, 2007. She began vomiting everything we fed her. The vet came to the house to draw blood and take urine to see if he could determine what was causing her illness. She was in renal failure. Her creatine had gone from 3 to 14. We started an IV on her. We had IV poles and pumps on every floor in our home. We ran 54 liters of ringers through her in 72 hours. They retested her blood and her creatine had gone back down to 3, but her kidneys were permanently damaged and she would be on an expensive K-D diet the rest of her life. But we were still at a loss as to how Meiko came down with acute Kidney Failure. Within a couple of days of bringing her back to some level of normality a chief executive from Tyson Foods who spends a great deal of time at our home called to see if we were still feeding our pets chicken jerky from Wal-Mart. We said yes it is their favorite treat. He said to stop immediately that it was tainted with melamine and that was what was killing her. We thought we had her on the mend when she began vomiting again in September. The vet once again came and drew blood and took a urine sample. Her creatine was 15 this time. The damage that was done from continuing to feed her the chicken jerky was too great, we were not able to save her life, but we are still desperately trying to save the lives of our other 2 pets Yoshi and Chopper because they all ate the same damn jerky and the other two are both peeing whole blood. Had they pulled the jerky from the shelves and made a public recall, Meiko would still be alive today.<BR/><BR/>Our beautiful baby daughter is buried in our garden. Beware of what Wal-Mart sells and what they import and the country it is imported from. They do not care about you or your pets, they only care about the almighty dollar and their bottom line. When we contacted Wal-Mart about Meiko, they sent us a letter stating that “Claims Management, Inc. manages claims on behalf of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and that they were very sorry to hear of the incident which involved chicken jerky. At this time we would like to share some information with you regarding the claims handling process. Upon reviewing your claim, CMI tendered the claim to the product supplier; Shanghai Bestro Trading. If you do not hear from the supplier in the next 10 days, please feel from to contact them directly 011-86-21-5848-6661. This is an overseas phone number.<BR/><BR/>This is your great Wal-Mart at its best, they don’t want to take responsibility for what they imported and sold at their stores. It may cost us more, but we no longer shop at Wal-Mart or any of its subsidiaries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112784679069318418.post-55289681484031720222007-10-06T13:44:00.000-05:002007-10-06T13:44:00.000-05:00I filed a claim for my vets bills to be paid by Nu...I filed a claim for my vets bills to be paid by Nutro insurance carrier (The Hartford), my claim was denied.

The cans I have weren't on the recall list, but the vomiting made me hesitate to give them the canned food at all. Anyway, it has been a few weeks since I stopped giving them the canned food. They are still throwing up, at least a few times weekly. It's not hairball throw-up either...so in response to those of you who asked if anyone thinks the dry IAMS is contaminated, I certainly do. I'm going to switch from this brand altogether.

Suddenly we noticed her having accidents all over the house. THis lead to weakness. My dog who had been so peppy suddenly couldn't jump onto my bed or couch. THen she was afraid to jump off. The accidents started getting worse and went from about 1 a day to at least 10. Eventually she just layed and couldn't stand or get herself up. Her body smelled like she was rotting from the inside out no matter how much i bathed her. Finally we had to have her put down as she in such terrible pain. We had taken her to the vet over and over and had tried everything he gave us. ANYWAYS NOW I'M JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE KNOWS OF ANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS IN VANCOUVER B.C. THAT I COULD SIGN UP WITH.

He went to the Vet this am, and I carried along a package of Meat Blast Pork Twists and I thought they were suspect. The vet, in a hurry, kind of blew me off, saying never to feed those to the pets and choose rather, hooves or sterilized bones. Then, he administered an iv to hydrate (hump of water) and two shots for vomiting and severe bloody diahrrea. He didn't really say what he thought caused my dog to be so sick.....but he did call later saying he saw whipworm and to come back on Monday for the pills. There were no blood tests taken or xrays. He never even looked at the package. I threw it away in his office, but have the receipt. I purchased them at Walmart last week, thinking surely to God, they have emptied their shelves. Well, it's evening, Saturday night, after midnight actually. My dog seems to be in very dire straights. I went online in a panic, and found this:<BR/> <BR/>http://socalmuchacha.wordpress.com/pet-food-recall-infoposts/#comment-3905, mentioning the same product.<BR/> <BR/>It was Meat Blast Pork Twists, China, Wheat Gluten.

Please, I fear for everyone's pets and would like to have this product put on some suspect list, separate from the FDA, which btw, I will call tomorrow. You can't email in complaints, I guess.

This would indeed waive customers right to future claims, which is standard in most settlement agreements.<BR/><BR/>Keep in mind that this is a property damage claim. Therefore plaintiffs are not entitled to emotional distress, missed time from work, etc. By law, this claim is the same as having a windstorm rip the roof of your house. You may have it replaced or have it paid at actual cash value, depending upon your home policy. <BR/><BR/>I find it interesting that Menu lists the different “Class Action Attorney’s” on their website! Menu would rather you obtain a lawyer because the payout will be much less. And ofcourse, the lawyers will get all the money and the plaintiff’s will most likely not see a penney. Remeber the class action asbestos lawsuit years ago? Enough said…. <BR/><BR/>Bottom line, if you can settle a claim with Menu directly, you will fare much better than participating in class action suit.<BR/><BR/>Keep in mind that maybe 3-5% of all these claims are related to contaminated food. Dogs and Cats go downhill very fast for many reasons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
