When I first ordered the Hills z/d, I got both wet and dry. Winston was obsessed with the dry food, loved it to bits. Unfortunately his poop would never form (and it was HUGE) even when I would feed maybe 1/4 cup of it daily. I figured intolerance to the grain or additives and stopped it. He’s...

Oh man, 13 weeks? I’ve read so many differing durations on this. Winston LOVES rawz rabbit, but it is so difficult for me to find! I have about 20 cans stockpiled but I didn’t want to transition him to it until I found a regular supply. I’ll peruse online to see if I can find retailers. The...

I’ve thought about it often, actually. But he needs to have a tooth exacted and cleaning that I was planning to do once his itching sorted out, and didn’t know if the raw would be hard on that. I only feed him wet and dilute a lot with water and warm so it is more soupy. Would it be hard for him...

I thought about trying koha kangaroo or rabbit, issue being I was confused about rabbit as that was a protein he ate when the itching began, and the reason for the Hills. At this point though I have no idea if he had an allergy to his old food to begin with!!

Oh also, indoor only, we live in an urban high rise. Windows never open. never used flea treatment as I didn’t think it was needed? I never see flea dirt and I’ve looked a lot. Skin under the itching shows no disruption or color change.

Hi everyone, I’d love some thoughts or guidance. Winston is around 10 (adopted, no idea actual age). Had him since 2012, healthy other than a couple food based ear infections. Covid has been horrible for him. He has been sick since April, the most recent being 1) he is a DMH tuxedo, huge...

Ha in the past 3 days We’ve been watching cat tv with calming music all day, and I play calming music all night as well. One specific album zonks him out so fast! Also I’m buying him a cat tower and have gotten a couple interactive toys. This is him at the moment staring at the birdies on the tv.

Also: he is allergic to poultry, duck, beef, bison, seafood. Never tried pheasant but the vet says not to bother as it is close to others he is allergic to. Been eating venison and rabbit for maybe 7 years. Was on instinct, I tried ziwi peak but that was a month ago and he has never tried the...

Totally agreed on the dry concerns; he has been fed wet exclusively since I got him. I was honestly only planning on feeding a couple tablespoons total per day just as a “treat” to get some more nutrition in him. I also am not keen on the hydrolyzed, but I do Understand the point of: if current...

I keep going back to when all of this started. I’ve had him for 8 years and other than 2 allergy induced ear infections he has been fine. As soon as covid19 became widespread, my city shut down, and I was home with him nearly 24/7 (and still am) it has been one malady after another. 2 weeks ago...

I will ask about the scraping instead. She didn’t talk much about a biopsy because she wanted to take things one at a time — the first was his food. I will definitely be weaning him onto the hydrolyzed food over a week to ten days, to slowly acclimate him onto it and off of his usual food. Or...

Hi there, the vet took a sample of hair to look at under the microscope, waiting for a call back on that plus the bloodwork (she is an in home vet, for circumstances right now that is way easier than my dragging him to another office visit in an uber where I still have to wait outside the...

Thank you for the reply! Interesting about the color change after Illness, I hope that is all it is. Oh yes I stopped the dry cereal after 4 days I think..I was introducing it so he probably had 1/3 cup total but I know that could have triggered something. Or, he could possibly be allergic to...

Also will add: vet wants to put him on hydrolyzed diet to see if the overgrooming is allergies. The only thing that has changed in the time since the mowing and pulling began was 1) I started leaving home a lot more bc I am going crazy trapped in my apt alone still under quarantine 2)I tried...

Hi all. Appreciate any thoughts at all on this, I’m trying to not freak out but it is so strange. My cat is losing widespread hair color. I have a male DMH tuxedo, around 10 though unsure as I adopted.This spring, a couple weeks after quarantine started, he was sick for 5 weeks with Ear...
