| OK I went a fed my made this afternoon. I opened her bag of Purina omolene 200 performance feed and a funky smell came out and I look in and the bottom of the bag is all mold. I bought it 2 weeks ago. Its kept away in dry area. She has been wheezing the past 2.5 days. Idk what happens in this kinda situation. Its says illness or death. But idk what symptoms can happen. Having a hard time getting ahold of vets tonight so I turned to you guys for help.

| I would call the company with the lot no to notify them as it may be the entire batch is bad. I would also ask them if they will offer a refund and if they want the bag |

I bought the bag from my work at tractor supply. Told the, and they said they won't refund me but give me a discount on my next bag. I told them to check the other bags for exp. Date. And a smell. |

Don't use Purina, especially from TSC. If the receiver is lazy, the feed never gets rotated. And Purina is junk anyways. Much better feed companies out there. You're paying a premium price for pure junk. |

If they are not going to refund you, I would call purina and see what they want to do.
If tractor supply wants the bag, they will have to buy it off of you |

I am confused they won't refund you but want the bag back? Don't get another bag from the same lot number if tsc wants to refund then do so but still call purina |

| If you can't get a full refund, I think I would be switching feed companies, and where I buy feed at!
In the future, I would definitely check the bags before I started feeding it. I would get some type of container that you can dump the whole bag of feed into, and store it that way rather than keeping it in the bag. That way you can inspect the whole bag before you start feeding it! I'm sorry you're dealing with this! |

Location: Nebraska | I got a few bags of strategy a couple years ago that had a bunch of powder stuff in them. My feed store took all the bags I bought back plus the one I had already opened and fed part of. They gave me new bags and we opened them up in the store to make sure they were ok (different lot but I wanted to be sure). I would call Purina because the store told me they'd be reimbursed for all of that because Purina guarantees it. |

They want the bag back so THEY can get paid for it from Purina. They're trying to jip you out of your refund.
Call Purina. Get your money back. And I would switch feeds. Or at least where you're buying from. |

Location: Sperry, OK | Here's the thing.. you bought it two weeks ago, but it was shipped to TSC and went to their wharehouse first, so by the time it got to the store it was at least 30 days old. I won't buy feed from TSC or Atwoods for this reason (unless I am in dire need and for whatever reason they can't go a day without, then I will only buy a pelleted feed).
I also agree, if your store won't refund you, don't give them the bag back... they will get a refund on it anyway, and screw you out of your refund. Go directly to Purina!
