Hi All,
I've had Pita (Pain In the Ass) for about two years now and his allergies started a little after his first birthday. We've tried 13 different foods; he's currently on Hound and Gatos Pork wet food currently. I've realized that he's definitely allergic to peas and poultry (chicken, turkey, duck). We've tried the hydrolyzed food and he has extremely loose poop anytime he's on that, so I've stayed clear of that.
He's been on the pork wet food for two weeks now and his dandruff has subsided, poop is firm, no butt irritating, his stomach looks/feels healthier and less itching. The itching is still happening around the ears and under his chin, so I'm watching this but it's the best its been! He's on his last few doses of the lowest dose of steroids, so I'll see how it goes when he's completely off of these. Derm-vet wants to have him on the food for a month and have him be off the steroids before we do environmental testing. How has environmental testing been for folks? What kind of medication have they put your cats on?
This has been a journey and anyone that is going through it, I know it's expensive and extremely frustrating because you can't do anything for your little guy or girl. I just want to say, I'm here with you.
