-=> Quoting Jahmas to All <=- Ja> Does anyone have a cat that's allergic to protein? We've had a Ja> problem over the last several years where our 10 year old male Maine Ja> Coon / Ragdoll starts itching and getting sores. We finally had him Ja> allergy tested at the advice of our vet. He is apparently allergic to Ja> protein, flea bites, dust mites and cotton. We have him on a special Ja> diet of venison and rabbit at the suggestion of the vet but he's so Ja> depressed that now he refuses to eat and he's starting to waste and Ja> lose weight. I'm beginning to think I should cheat and feed him some Ja> chicken or fish now and then just to keep him happy and help maintain Ja> the weight. The costly option is allergy shots. He's so sad :( Ja> Jah One of our cats, a 3 year old male Himilayan, cannot eat anything except for his low PH food. He has had a couple of kidney stones, and I feel very lucky that he lived through the treatment, unlike my other male Himilayan, who died overnight from the same problem. He had been operated once... I changed his diet, but I guess the ash content was just not low enough. This was over 5 years ago, but he was my baby. Everest was given to me by my daughter, when she found out her boyfriend was highly allergic to him. I have not changed his diet except for the couple of times I treated him to a shrimp, or some similar delicacy, and it was not worth watching him be sick afterwards from whatever it was. It is a kind of allergy, according to the vet. ___ Blue Wave/DOS v2.30 --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5* Origin: Try Our Web Based QWK: DOCSPLACE.ORG (1:123/140) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 @PATH: 123/140 500 106/2000 633/267 |
