The Royal Veterinary College reported a 63.5 percent mortality rate for cats diagnosed with the illness.
. Since then, upwards of 500 cases have been recorded. Of those cats diagnosed, 63.5 percent have been killed by the disease.
While the link between cat food and pancytopenia remains unverified by officials, pet food manufacturer Fold Hill Foods raised eyebrows after recalling several of their products as a"precautionary" measure in June."There is concern on the safety of the products listed above," reads the Food Standards Agency's announcement of Fold Hill Foods' recall.
Ben Mankertz, general manager for Fold Hill Foods Ltd, said in a statement on the company's website:"We are alarmed and deeply saddened to learn of reports from the Food & Veterinary Authorities of some health issues in cats. As cat owners ourselves, we fully understand how upsetting and stressful this situation is for families and although diet has not been confirmed as the cause, we would prefer to act now to ensure the absolute safety of cats.
The FSA and RVC have since launched an investigation into cat food samples, hoping to locate the source of the pancytopenia cases. However, both agencies have stopped short of confirming a link between any pet food and the spike in cases.
