Hope your pup and kitties are well! ...Welcome back! Hope your pup and kitties are well! <br />The catster info is the same as the worms and germs vet blog from last week:<br /><br />"After starting off like a simple recall of potentially Salmonella-contaminated dry pet food, the Diamond Pet Food problem has now expanded into a multistate outbreak of salmonellosis in humans linked to exposure to the contaminated pet food. At last count, there were 14 affected people from 9 US states, including 5 who required hospitalization. These numbers could increase since so far they only include people who got sick up to April 1 (because it takes time for Salmonella to be grown in the lab, sent to CDC for testing and the result investigated, later cases may not have been reported yet).<br />This outbreak involves Salmonella Infantis, a strain that is uncommonly identified in people. Finding an increased number of infections caused by an unusual strain makes it easier to identify an outbreak, as was presumably the case here. This strain has also been isolated from various types of pet food that were produced at the Diamond Pet Foods' South Carolina plant. <br />Despite the name, this strain of Salmonella is not more likely to infect infants, and people ranging from less than 1 year to 82 years of age have been infected." 2 cats in Quebec shelter died from it.<br /><br />Not listed was Royal Canin Siamese kibble - I had a bad bag of it two months ago. Was a new bag with a strong smell and it made my cat vomit to the point of thin liquid with bubbles. Don;t know what was wrong with it I returned it to the petvalu it came from.<br /><br />Worms and Germs recommends:<br />"How do reduce the risk of getting Salmonella from pet food (or your pet)?<br />Don't feed pets in the kitchen. This practice has been associated with an increased risk of disease in a previous outbreak of salmonellosis in children.<br /><br />Wash your hands after handling pet food.<br /><br />Don't let young children have contact with pet food.<br /><br />Use common sense when handling pet feces.<br /><br />Hugs to the foster families with the sick kitties.<br /><br />Harpurr's MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34039605.post-68505611036047331422012-05-28T19:05:45.125-04:002012-05-28T19:05:45.125-04:00Welcome back!
