BLOOMINGTON - Health officials are working to learn more about a concerning outbreak of serious liver disease in children in Europe and the United States. The latest available data from the World Health Organization (WHO) states that worldwide, there have been at least 169 cases of what the organization calls “acute hepatitis of unknown origin” in young children, including three in Illinois. So far this outbreak has resulted in dozens of hospitalizations, 17 liver transplants and one death. The children’s ages range from one month to 16 years old. Researchers are scrambling to find the cause of this illness, and while it hasn’t been confirmed, it is believed a common virus among children, adenovirus , could be involved.

ST. LOUIS - In honor of National Pet Month in May, Purina is deepening its support of the Purple Leash Project by offering specially marked packaging from several of its flagship brands including Beggin' , Tidy Cats , Purina Cat Chow , Beneful , Purina Beyond , and Friskies Party Mix Cat Treats . The Purple Leash Project is a national initiative founded by Purina and nonprofit RedRover aimed at creating more pet-friendly domestic violence shelters across the country, allowing survivors and pets to begin the healing journey together.

Purina and RedRover are working to change that. Since 2019, Purina and RedRover have provided 30 Purple Leash Project grants totaling over $500,000 to domestic violence shelters across the US.
