NEW Purdue Bloat Study
Recent studies are shedding more light on gastric dilatation volvulus (GDV), otherwise known as bloat. GDV
is the second leading cause of death in large-breed (50 – 99 pounds) and giant-breed (100 pounds and over) dogs.
Approximately one in four large-breed dogs and one in five giant-breed dogs may develop GDV during their lifetime,
with some breeds at even higher lifetime risk. GDV strikes…

I have stopped feeding her nutro as of today. I have 3 other foster kittens with her that have been fed the same. They have cronic diarreha but not the other symptoms that this sick little one has.
Have you heard of anything like that in the blogs or emails? I haven't seen much about cat illnesses in the nutro blogs.
Thanks for any info.
Dry Large Breed Is on there..looks like the comments from Austrailia could be true. They shipped out toxic food everywhere.
I am researching more about this..

I agree with everything your saying too Paul. It's big business anymore, a good solid reputable company of what 50/55 years gets bought out by big business and thier product goes to crap.
I was trying to find a list of all of Menus foods they distribute and can only find the "recalled" items, they don't want you to know everything they make so you can stay away from it.
Just maddening!!!
No one but me noticed thatthgey were never recalled, There were also samples that were poision...So someone gives you a poision sample and you need to prove you bought something.? I don't get it.
First of all this is all a bogus claim reducing technique if you ask me. They are trying to make it difficult so more people will not make a claim.
First of all is everyone aware of the 2006 Poisioning by Diamond Pet Foods it was in OCT to December and was settled for 3.1 million Dollars in March..in fact the deadline for your claim is over.. it passed and the details were quite hidden and you had to prove your animal was sick from there food...at the same time tests were coming up with Melamine according to articles from "Peta" So while this was happening I have a press release from Diamond to Pet Food Express Stores stating That all of there foods were Safe!
Thank you so much for your decication to this heartfealt cause, so nice in knowing that someone really does care. I've heard so much about you from Anicka, she is also dead serious about this issue as we all really are in a sense. I lost my beloved cat Snuggles (who is shown here) to what I now believe could have been his food, he was 16 years old and apparantly in good health, he got ill gradually all the normal kidney diease symptoms, he had been on Hills Presctiption Diet, the K/D formula, about mid 2006 he would get sick and then come around by himself, but then the end of October he had his worse symtoms and just went down from there, I was told he had an shortage of Potassium and they prescribed something that really only made him worse, I didnt want my beloved FIRST pet to suffer so I had a desicion to make. To make a long story short, I thought he had just gotten ill due to age, now I've been told that by Anicka that his food was to blame. Unforturnatly I can't be 100% sure, but all signs do point to that.
So I too join you in this fight, sorry this "comment" went on a bit too long, but I wanted you to know my story as well. I met Anicka through a memorial site I had put up for Snuggs, she's been my savior really, although her and I have never actually met, I feel that we have since her and I have been through a lot in the last few years, she has been a great friend for almost two years now, (Snuggles has been gone about that long...and I still miss him terribly, so much so to never get another cat anytime soon out of fear of losing another one....sounds a bit confusing, sorry), I took it very hard and it would kill me if I have to go through it all over again.
Okay, I've gone on again, sorry (again, ;-)), just wanted to REALLY thank you for adding me on as well.
Thank you Paul keep up the great work!
