Subject: [ferrethealth] Re: Melamine actions
Hi Arlena,
Sorry to hear about the loss of your ferret.
Remember it was actually a combination of
melamine AND cyanuric acid that caused the
kidney failure and death in so many pets.
Just melamine by itself does not cause a serious
problem, but melamine and cyanuric acid
causes acute kidney failure and even death.
Likewise wheat gluten (without melamine
and cyanuric acid) is a safe ingredient.
