FDA Disputes Pet Food Pain Killer Findings Consumer Affairs - Menu Foods Samples Test Positive for Painkiller Consumer Affairs - According to a report by KTRK in Houston, technicians at the medical testing laboratory, EperTox, discovered the popular pain killer is at least a half dozen pet food samples “Depending on the amount ingested, clinical effects can include a condition called ‘methemoglobinemia,’ which affects the ability of blood cells to deliver oxygen to vital organs, or even liver damage,” Hansen said. “At this point, we have very little information as to the actual level and concentration of this reported contamination, so it’s extremely important to be able to recognize any potential warning signs of this kind of poisoning.” Hansen, however, said early information indicates the concentration levels of the pain killer are not high enough to have an adverse effect on most dogs. But cats, he and other veterinarians warn, are
more at-risk. |
