The news on CBS last night (our local one) had a big story about how the FDA
is trying to follow up on how many pets have been seriously ill or killed
from this food and to establish a timeline.

They were frustrated in the fact that nobody knows they're supposed to call
the FDA on this, so they're asking for anyone who had a pet that was
affected - or is affected-- to report it to their vet and to have the vet
contact the FDA AND it's extremely important for the owner themselves to
call the FDA so they can start putting together something more solid than
what they've been getting.

It's extremely important to call on this. The scope of the problem is far
beyond 16 reported deaths.

The online list of FDA phone numbers broken down by state is over here:

gov/opacom/backgrou nders/complain. html

Call your vet and ask them to call also, they'll be able to supply the info
from their files to help back up the data.

They have an FAQ page on their site as well.

This truly SUCKS as where do you begin? I had a dog die (had to be PTS due to kidney failure 2 years ago.....long before this recall) so I wonder to this day WHY she (1 1/2 yrs old) had to suffer so! Was it due to what I was feeding her? I'll always wonder........
