All foods, including people food, have the potential to be infected with
salmonella. The government should be inspecting the food processing plants
to prevent these infections. If they don't do their job, errrrr.... so what
else is new?

[Bill Graham]

Dogs and cats, in spite of their loyalty and love for us are considered to
be second class citizens. Cats can't get CAT scans, and pets can't get PET
scans. So these wonderful companions are treated with minimal medical
expertise and services, and die from many simple to cure conditions on a
regular basis. Bad food is just one of many things they have to put up with.

Actually, we do have tests such as CT scans and MRI for cats. However, they
are very expensive and availability varies by location.

Yes. I'm afraid that the new medical plans will tke these away for even us
old geezer's, much less for the pets. but, we'll see what transpires.... I
don't have a lot of hope for our furry friends, however.....
