Karen L. had four healthy young cats four months ago (two boys, two girls – three cats 5 years, one 1 year). Today she has only two cats, and those two are still recovering from serious illness. Karen was feeding her babies Royal Canin Veterinary Formula Rx diet, and partially into a new bag of food all four cats began vomiting with diarrhea. With veterinary treatment (and discontinuing the food) the two male cats began to improve but the females did not. Continued veterinary treatment including treatment by a veterinary Internist (Dove Lewis Clinic Portland, OR), Karen’s girls didn’t make it. Princess and Muffin died; 3/6 and 3/12 … Karen’s regular veterinarian and the specialist veterinarian told her they had no doubt, the pet food was the link to the illness and death.Approximately two weeks after the initial complaint was filed, Karen received a call from veterinarian Renate Reimschuessel, Research Biologist with FDA.Dr. Renate Reimschuessel told this grieving pet owner…“there was nothing the FDA could do, they wouldn’t know what to test the pet food for”“but if your other two cats die, send us their bodies – FDA will pay for shipping”
