Yesterday Moxie's belly was looking much better after the allergy flare up from the Rabbit food, but today it's looking very irritated again. I'm about ready to tear my hair out - she can't possibly be allergic to the venison now too. Maybe she's just not quite over the reaction from the weekend...

Oh wow, thank you so much! It's going to take me a while to go through all that but that's super helpful.

Need to update this for myself... Moxie's been on the Natural Balance Venison and green pea food until this past Friday. She was doing much better - I had a few moments where I thought her belly was a little pinker than usual but her fur was growing in and she wasn't over grooming so possibly...

Well it's been just over a week on the limited ingredient food and Moxie is looking much better. She's got a little bit of fuzz coming back on her belly so the over grooming had tapered off. Her skin still looks a little pink to me but I'm going to give it a little more time, see how she looks...

Moxie is going to lose weight during this. There's no way around it. She not super food motivated and we've gone stretches where she ate only canned food by necessity and she always ended up losing weight. Raw keeps her at an ideal weight and interested in her food. Canned doesn't. And I really...

I'm really not sure why you think that? I'm not switching rapidly through different meats. She's on venison canned food now, but the vet doesn't trust commercial cat food to be truly allergen free (cross contamination) and would like me to consider a rabbit food made by a different company. If...

I've never tried Rad Cat but it looks really good. I've not seen it anywhere locally though. There's a pet food store that sells a huge variety of raw food but it's about an hour and a half drive from me. I'm going to try to make it up there this week. They sell Carnivora which I've used before...

Just got back from the vet. I hope you guys don't mind if I keep updating this as a kind of record to myself? Anyway here's what's happened so far: Last week I needed to dissolve Moxie's medication in tuna in order to get her to take it, so she had a few days of mostly eating the tuna and...

So Moxie has been on the painkillers since Tuesday and the over grooming continues. She looked a little better yesterday but today her little belly is quite pink looking. It seems like she's not over grooming due to pain, which is a comfort I guess. Next step is going to be some kind of...

Forgot to mention that on Tuesday we also did an x-ray to rule out bladder stones. Vet thought it was very unlikely but I decided to do the x-ray anyway just to be sure. No sign of bladder stones on the x-ray. Does anyone have any experience with struvite crystals in cats? My vet seems really...

Thanks for your reply! My vet also mentioned that cross contamination could be an issue with non-prescription allergy foods. Moxie is really used to getting a huge variety of different foods so sticking to one thing will be really hard for her. How quickly did you start to see improvement in...

Homemade raw, various protein sources. Most recently she's been getting quail, pork, chicken, kangaroo and elk. I've tried cutting everything out except for the quail and pork (she eats the quail for bones), but I did that for about ten days, and since the skin irritation was just getting worse...

Thank you so much for the chamomile suggestion! I'll definitely give that a try. I've been hesitant to do anything for her topically for exactly the reason you mentioned, knowing she'd just end up ingesting it.

Hello, I'm hoping for some advice. A few months ago my cat started over grooming the area between her back legs. It got to the point her skin was pink and irritated and all the fur between her back legs was gone. Thought it was an allergy at first, but when I couldn't figure out what she was...
