Pet Food Deaths Could Rise Sharply

[JLB]

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Health officials suspect 38 pet deaths in Oregon are related to the nationwide pet food recall, the Oregon Veterinary Medical Association said Wednesday.

Another 66 cases that did not result in death could also be linked to contaminated pet food, according to Dr. Emilio DeBess, Oregon's public health veterinarian. His office emphasized the link is only suspected at this point, and a confirmed case would require more extensive testing.

Pets that consumed food recalled by Menu Foods Inc. and experienced various stages of kidney dysfunction qualify as suspected cases, the veterinary association said.

And if one of my cats die, I'll be right there with you.

Luckily the only wet fod they have had recently has been meow mix and that is only about once a week.
