my ragdoll Jack was on friskies an purina products 6 yrs. one day he stopped eating and threw up 3 times. after 2 days went to vet HERE IS FRISKIES PURINA SCOOP. THEY HAVE ALL FOOD NOW MANUFACTURED IN CHINA. not good. china has no restrictions temperature control checks or quality checks. purina will not submit ingredients to our quality usa control and have 8 issues right now. the dog food has anti freeze in it called propolyne glocal. many cats thousands of dogs cats have died or throwing up diarreah issues. my vet said Jack appears to have gastritis from rays and he had a horrible green diarreah explosion. ITS NO RECALL YET ACCORDING TO PETSMART BUT THEY ARE AWARE OF IT AND UNTIL PROVEN CAN'T REMOVE IT. I SPENT 500$ AT VET. JACK IS BETTER LOVES THE SIMPLY NOURISH BRAND. REGRETFULLY I TRIED TO GIVE SN DRY FOOD IMMEDIATELY but had some loose stools. so i am going 30-50 on dry food for few days praying purina dry food will not be enough to bother him again. Thailand products dont bother me. better quality control thn usa. but China can do whatever. talk to your vet and i hope your baby is betterI've just got back from a week long visit home. During that time, Tucker was looked after by a friend who gave him his daily kibble and canned allotment. No vomiting was reported while I was away.
When I got back I gave him a big can of Friskies Turkey Dinner pate. Tucker seemed very dubious about it (weird, since he's usually all over his food dish), but ate it and seemed happy after. The next day he got Chicken in Gravy Friskies. He whined for kibble and wouldn't touch the wet. l ended up throwing it out. Today, I switched over to Fancy Feast Chicken and Liver. Normally, this is is his favourite of favourites, but today it took him ages to eat and he seemed distinctly unhappy about it.
Next thing I know, he's explosively vomiting all over the carpet. D:
I've had Tuck almost three months now, and the only other time he's been sick was after stealing and eating an entire slice of pizza, and even that wasn't this violent.
Is this just stress from me being gone a week, or has Purina had a canned food recall I'm not aware of? He's still fine with his Petcurean kibble so I'm almost certain this is all down to the canned stuff and not a medical issue, though if this continues without the wet a phone call to the vet will be happening. In any case, he's not getting any more Purina brand anything until I can figure out why he's suddenly reacting so badly too it.
The weather is nice so I'll be heading into town tomorrow in search of better wet food.
Advice?
