Hi!
My older male cat has IBD and his initial allergy was determined to be tuna. He is currently being extremely picky. At the moment he is eating Hound & Gatos pork (grudgingly). I have had him on Merrick limited ingredient turkey and duck, and koha kangaroo.He wasn't thrilled. I have tried other brands of both flavors without success. He is allergic to lamb, beef, chicken, and carrageenan. He won't eat rabbit. He may or may not be allergic to venison (while transition him from lamb to venison he had diarrhea and developed an ear infection. It was when his lamb allergy had been discovered so I'm not sure if it was a lingering lamb issue or the venison).
I know seafood is not looked upon favorably when feeding cats and I'm curious about whether or not the tuna allergy means a blanketed seafood allergy. I found a sardine flavor from both evangers (who I'm scared to try) and natures logic. For several reasons I can't feed raw. I could go the cooked homemade diet, but I'd rather not as it seems overwhelming with the supplements I'd need to add (I looked into ezcomplete but it contains chicken liver).
Does anyone have any thoughts on whether sardines would be safe?
