If your cat/dog ate rat poision or pet food with rat poision in it. please....TAKE YOU PET TO THE VET IMMEDIATELY.
Rat poision causes the blood vessels in the pet/human to rupture and they will bleed to death internally. I worked in the Operating Room; and went to college for this. The blood thinner that is given to humans (Coumadin) has a very small amt. of rat poision in it. That is why humans who are on blood thinner have to have labs done frequently. It is only a tiny amt. used in blood thinner. But in rat poision it is a very, very strong amount. Your pet may not show any signs till it is too late. PLEASE GET YOUR PET TO THE VET IMMEDIATELY. EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO WORK OUT A PAYMENT PLAN WITH THE VET. Good luck.

Your pets should be safe as long as you don't feed them gravy based dog or cat food. Shy away from any wet pet foods for the time being.
You can go to urbanlegends.com and find a list of the 40 or 50 pet foods that the FDA believes are contaminated.
Our firm represents thousands of mass tort victims. Unfortunately thousands of pets will suffer kidney failure or die due to the rat poison contaminated wheat gluten found in the "gravy" pet foods.
Good luck

My dog did eat this food and I am watching him very closely.... and now I am totally freaked about the rat poison especially since last night he did something way out of character...... He wet all over the bed! He is my husbands service dog and HE has never, ever done anything in the house or any where he is not suppose to. He seems to be other wise ok. Don't know if we should have him checked or what?

Go to menufoods.com... they have a complete list of the recalled pet food, both dog and cat. Only the wet food 'cuts and gravy' style was contaminated, it was the only type that was made with the contaminated wheat gluten.
Signs to look for (and Macy, you're wrong), are:
Increased thirst and urination
Decreased appetite
Lethargy (constant, not occasional)
If your pet has eaten this style food and is exhibiting these symptoms, please get them to a veterinarian. Kidney failure can be reversed or reduced with fluids and immune boosters.

If they're pet rats, don't worry. If not, why are you keeping your pets there in the first place? P.S. This isn't text messaging.

search for the pet food recall list and don't feed your pets any of the brands on that list!! it's actually pretty simple believe it or not!!

Well depends on if they ate the food. Check it out and if you have more concerns see a vet.
