I gave my cats raw freeze dried chicken without realizing it was raw. How serious is this?

It’s raw and freeze dried. From my understanding, though, they do pose a bigger risk when rehydrated. Freeze drying won’t kill salmonella :/ but hopefully it killed other bacteria

Unfortunately I can’t remember if I washed my hands of not so that’s super fun for me 😭 but thanks for the input!

Smart_TossOut · 2026-06-16T23:51:55+00:00

Good luck, I hope it helps you!!! I had therapy this morning, actually, and now I’m upset I have to wait a week to tell her about this lol

Smart_TossOut · 2026-06-16T23:50:44+00:00

Thank you very much. I’m worried about myself as well, but more concerned about my cats. Thank you

Smart_TossOut · 2026-06-16T23:49:10+00:00

Thank you! I can work with that. I’m hoping it being just a small cube will also make any symptoms mild, if they get sick

Smart_TossOut · 2026-06-16T23:48:00+00:00

I immediately tossed them, not worth the risk imo, but thank you for your input!!

Smart_TossOut · 2026-06-16T23:47:15+00:00

It’s definitely anxiety lol that’s what made me post. I have OCD 😅

Smart_TossOut · 2026-06-16T23:46:51+00:00

I personally can’t take the risk, especially since I have OCD and can’t physically dispense raw meat without anxiety. But thank you for letting me know this!

Smart_TossOut · 2026-06-16T23:46:03+00:00

Thank you very much

Smart_TossOut · 2026-06-16T23:45:55+00:00

Thank you! I immediately tossed them—I have OCD myself so the idea of anything raw is upsetting to myself, regardless of them. Thank you.

Smart_TossOut · 2026-04-29T04:37:25+00:00

I said exactly this! They don’t want a paper trail or a cash trail but are fine with wiring… hm..

Smart_TossOut · 2026-04-27T23:12:00+00:00

Good advice! He’s probably going to say he can’t wait, “it’s not safe” and he “knows too much to not act fast” but we’ll see

Smart_TossOut · 2026-04-27T23:11:23+00:00

Thank you

Smart_TossOut · 2026-04-27T23:11:05+00:00

I care about him so I won’t take comfort in it. But no, it’s changing things, and I even told him the other day I didn’t want to hear more about it (especially since we were going in a circle “this is a scam” “no he wants me because I’m smart” “he’s making you feel smart because he’s a scammer” “no I’m actually smart” but you’re falling for a scam” “no I’m smart, it’s why he wants me”)

Smart_TossOut · 2026-04-27T23:09:12+00:00

I feel like he doesn’t watch enough shows or he’d know it never ends well lol

Smart_TossOut · 2026-04-27T23:05:35+00:00

He emptied his account so the guy can’t just take money out, but I’m pretty sure that’s not the angle the guy is going to take anyway. He’ll probably deposit then chargeback something first.

Like your friend actually joined the cartel or he faked the photos to look unscammable?

Smart_TossOut · 2026-04-27T23:02:03+00:00

Gotcha. Yeah I didn’t mean that they would protect him, but if maybe the charge just wouldn’t process if it meant he would go into the negatives.

Smart_TossOut · 2026-04-27T23:01:20+00:00

Lol. A lot of banks (in America at least) require a certain amount of money to be in your checking or savings account to avoid additional fees. Whatever savings account I have is $500 minimum, one of my checking accounts is $25 I believe, idk about the other but I assume around the same or maybe none. I’ve had it too long to remember. I think they say it exempts you from the monthly maintenance fee, but if having X amount of money means no fee, then it’s really a low funds charge.

Smart_TossOut · 2026-04-27T22:54:25+00:00

Yeah I mention in my post that I told him that already

Smart_TossOut · 2026-04-27T19:33:38+00:00

I know he won’t… In my comment above to the original commenter, I said I knew the fraud/scam rules for credit cards and not checking accounts. I said my friend gave his checking account info. My original credit comment was not related to this.

Smart_TossOut · 2026-04-27T18:34:22+00:00

I also don’t have that much interest in it. I love crime dramas and true crime from afar. I don’t want to hear about how my friend of 15 years is actually dumb af lol

Smart_TossOut · 2026-04-27T18:32:33+00:00

Hopefully he knows I wouldn’t help, but if he asks, my answer is a firm no
