The FDA along with Menu Foods is till investigating the cause. They believe that a new supplier of the wheat gluten used in the recalled food could have possibly contaminated the gluten with a toxic mold or a heavy metal compound. It seems to be much more toxic in cats then dogs, although tonight's ABC news reported on at leat one dog fatality outside of the test animals that dies or were made sick when Menu did their own in house testing. There seems to be about a 20% initial mortality rate.
Our cat seemed to be recovering after an initial hydration treatment a week ago. She is in for an overnight observation and additional hydration tonight, we will have a much better idea on her condition over the next week.
