Hello
My unspayed female seems to be very sensitive to the food she eats. I have been told to lose the dry food and focus on a high protein diet with meat like venison, rabbit, pheasant, and duck. I had been feeding her cooked egg, chicken, and beef before this, which was all organic, cage free, non antiobiotic. The dry food was always Praegers or Blue Wilderness, and I tried primal a few times.
My biggest questions is where do I even find these sort of meats? Is there really a big difference between raw and cooked? Should I lose the egg, chicken or beef? Is there a blood test I can get done to check for allergies to specific foods?
I am pretty sure her allergies and health problems are related to the food she eats. She has always been a bit skinnier, with visible hips. She gets hot spots on her neck and grooms and scratches all the time. Ive had to keep a sock around her neck the past few weeks to stop her from scratching at a wound she kept picking at, but it has almost completely healed up. When I take the sock off though shell keep scratching at her neck. I have gone to multiple vets. She has been checked for fleas and nothing. I use diatomaceous earth and Apple cyder vinegar just in case of mites.
I am hoping she is just allergic to the dry food, but people have been telling me cats can be allergic to beef chicken and/or egg. I live near kent/akron Ohio. Any suggestions would be very helpful.
