Hi Firepulse,   Food allergies are hard to put your finger on, and it does take patience, trial and error.  Most importantly, it can take up to 90 days to flush out their system before seeing any improvement.  It took me over a year to finally find a diet to help my cat.  The key is to limit...

I know this reply is a few weeks after your posting, but I had seen your post when you first asked about your kitty's bad breath. Today, I was fixing a new pot of kitty green oat grass seeds to grow for my three cats , and happened to read on the bag that not only are the greens great for...

I have scanned this whole thread, and I do feel for you. I went through the exact same thing from Nov. 08 'til Dec. 09 until Carolina and Sharky here on thecatsite helped me. They recommended the Nat. Balance Green Pea and Salmon, and it has been a life savor since last Dec., no scatching at...

My CJ had developed a serious food allergy, and thanks to recommendations from The Cat Site, Natural Balance did the trick! I do feed wet and dry, and my two other cats love it as well (the salmon dry formula). Natural Balance does have a reduced calorie line, so that may be an option for you...

I paid a little over $230 for a dental on my 4 year old female. She did not have to have extractions, but price would have verified depending on the tooth, per my vet. Here in Myrtle Beach, the local vets "rotate" as the shelter vet, I don't know if that would be the case in your area. If so...

I have never used canned pumpkin, but I had always been under the assumption it is used for constipation, not LOOSE bowels???

It has been awhile since I have posted, and I came on this morning to give an update on CJ's allergies, and saw your questions, so I am putting my update here in hopes that maybe it can help you some. I have been trying to narrow down CJ's allergies since last Oct. (it is a VERY long process...

Yes, I am still giving him the histamine, 1/2 twice a day. I thought I would continue them for another week just to be on the safe side (the vet gave him enough for 60 days). Thank you again for all your help, I couldn't have done it without cha' !

Hi everyone, Just wanted to give a quick update on CJ, he has not scratched/licked aggresively since last Friday AND all his bald areas has a light coat of fuzz coming in!!!!! I know everyone mentioned about adding one item to his diet to see what he is allergic to, but he loves this new diet...

I would say that I have seen changes over the past week, even without the histamine pills, his licking/scratching was much less severe then before I changed his diet. Like I said, licking/scratching is very minimium now, except for an hour or so before time for his pill, and he does do some...

I must say, that if it weren't for the histamine pills, he would be the same, if not worse! I was under the impression I wouldn't see any change due to the diet for at least 4 weeks or so??? Should I continue with this same diet change?

Good Morning, The vet gave me "chlor-histamine" 1/2 tablet, twice a day. My vet recommended this because it is one of the mildest ones, and it won't make him sleep, anything stronger would make him sleepy she says. He is still running, playing with his brother as normal now. It is working to...

I just caught up with this post, and just wanted to say HOORAY for Bugsy! So glad you got such good news!!+ Bobby and the Gang

Thank you sooo much. I will get them for him tomorrow. My vet is very familiar with his case of course, so she will just have me pick them up tomorrow. Thanks again

Yes, this is an improvement from before. Other times, he was biting and pulling his hair out, now he is just licking. Before it would be bacially none stop, now I would say he stops maybe twice an hour and licks for a few seconds. This time, he is still running, playing etc. I feel like I...

Well, it has been 4 whole days now that CJ has been on his new diet, and likes it fine, but he is really licking A LOT. His front legs and belly are about bare (he has very fine fur anyway), but no bleeding or anything, just skin showing. He isn't scratching much, just a lot of licking. I know...

Thanks so much, I am going to keep this info in case I have to go to a chicken free, I hope not though! The fancy feast has wheat gluten as the third ingredient in ALL flavors, so I definately won't go to that. When it comes to my four legged kids, I will spend what ever it takes to keep them...
