(21,164 posts)We give her an inhaler at times for asthma sometimes. I just checked the purina cat food and the serial number is 81941162 mmm. Different one but awfully close.
I might give her something else the next few days.

Had the same thing happen w/one of mine and he had an upper respiratory tract infection and required antibiotics.
How I managed to get this 18 lb. cat into a carrier was ... difficult to say the very least.
Glad you checked! I would not feed this food to any of my cats after reading this.
Purina has gone downhill IMO!
