He's allergic to......Peanut!!! :eek: :eek: ;) :D
Actually, it turns out he's allergic to a few things so I'll start at the top of the list.
Trees
Beech - American
Ash Mix
Sycamore Mix
Grasses
Bluegrass (June grass)
Johnson Grass
Weeds
Sheep Sorrel
Cocklebur
Mugxxxx - Common (the xxx means I can't read the fax)
Mustard Pollen
Kochie(?) (fax not clear on this one either so not sure of the spelling)
Marsh Elder Mix
Molds
Fuearium (?)
Other
Dust Mite Mix
Foods
Peanut ( :eek: :eek: )
Barley
Soy Beans
Environmental
Mouse Epithelia (vet says this is mouse skin! :p )
Kapok (couch cushions?)
He is also borderline for a lot of things, but, in my opinion, what mostly relates to the diarrhea is
Foods
Fish Mix
Rice, Brown
Beets
The vet tech faxed me the report on this, but the vet was with some emergency patients so I haven't talked to him myself about what all this means yet. He did talk to Terry - which he shouldn't do because Terry gets all upset and thinks Jack's on his death bed :rolleyes: - and he (the vet) mentioned that since the diarrhea is the issue here, it's probably the food allergies that are causing the problem. I told Terry it's a good thing that they found something because now we know what we're dealing with instead of me blindly buying a ton of different foods and wasting a lot of money when those new foods only made matters worse.
I'll let you know more of what the vet says when I talk to him, but rice and soy beans seems to be a big part of many foods, so hopefully we can find one that doesn't have these ingredients.
CJ snuggled up with me last night in bed again. He started purring up a storm the second he climbed under the covers (the only way he'll snuggle up in bed). He's such a sweet silly boy, and hopefully now we can get rid of his diarrhea problem for good! :)
