THANK YOU so much for the food recommendation! I was having a hard time finding one that hadn't been recalled in the past (Evangers). Seems like it's more of a supplement upon visiting their company website so I'll use it as a daily treat just to feed him the probiotic.

Got it - so you tried the elimination diet process! Hmm, so far his poop has been normal. No diarrhea or weird discoloration yet but I'll definitely keep an eye out. Great point about digestion and incorporating digestive enzymes! I bought some salmon oil to feed him but as soon as he smells it...

Hi all,
My male domestic short hair cat Astro and I really need your advice. Astro is less than 2yrs old and has been over-grooming and biting his hair off to the point of creating bloody wounds all over his stomach and hind legs since this January. So it has now been 8 months of vet visits...
