Several lots of Premium Edge cat food (made by Diamond Pet Foods) have been recalled because of thiamine deficiency.

Thiamine deficiency in cats can cause staggering (ataxia), weakness, and downward flexing (ventroflexion) of the head and neck. It is important to note that this is a very treatable, reversible condition, so contact your veterinarian right away if any unusual nervous system disorder or weakness occurs in your cat.
OUR MISSION
1- ... that no pet owner be forced to choose inadequate treatment or euthanasia for their animal because of inability to pay for emergency medical care.
2- ... that people who receive financial help for a veterinary emergency be given the opportunity to return their gift by becoming mentors, by volunteering for VEFM, or by supporting the VEFM fund financially.
3- ... that it is the responsibility of both the local pet-owning and veterinary communities to make emergency care available--that this is not a national responsibility but a grass-roots responsibility.
4-... that the vision of VEFM will extend to communities all across the United States, possibly even the world.
