we fed it to him for about 2-3 days and just herd on the news that alot of animals are getting sick. he's an indoor out door cat and he was starting to get a little on the skinny side so we bought a brand of food called special kitty to fatten him up. well now he can hardly walk he can walk but it's kind of a limping walk. so we called a vet and he's going in tomorrow but we want to get him in today so we're still calling around...but has this happend to any of you? is there any thing i can do to make him feel better?? please help me!

Oh no....! You need to take him to a vet right now. Your cat is showing symptoms of kidney failure and that can be helped IF you take him to a vet without delay. They will give IV fluids and some meds to support the kidneys as they struggle to recover. Take to an emergencey vet. If I were you, I won;t call around, I'll just pack up my cat and go to the nearest vet and demand treatment.

You are doing the correct thing by getting him into a vet. I don't understand why a vet won't take him as an emergency considering that you fed him this recalled food. Do you have an emergency clinic there? They are expensive however. Keep calling until you find a responsible vet that will tell you to bring him in right away. Good luck.

Find an emergency animal clinic and take him NOW!!! If you love him, the bill won't matter. And you could probably wind up sending the bill to Menu Foods for that matter. They should be compensating people for the problems that this has caused them and their furry kids with 4 legs!!!

I would take him to an Animal Emergency Hospital. This sounds like something shouldn't be put off, waiting until tomorrow to see your vet might be waiting too long. I would take mine to emergency immediately.

Take him to the VET now! Unless you want to risk him dying. Seems pretty self explanitory to me. They do have vet emergency rooms, look in the yellow pages for emergency vet care.

OMG! Get him to the doctor. 10 cats & dogs died from it. If you get him to the vet soon enough he should be on meds & be OK. But hurry!
Pour thing!

Feed him grass? I would take him down to the vet now regardless of when the appointment is scheduled.
