cat has allergies?

[MyCatPaulie]

Hi everyone, just a quick update my vet wants me to try the RC green pea and rabbit, the only thing that concerns me is that it has fish oil in it, if she ever is allergic to fish would fish oil be a problem. I could not find a food that has no chicken or fish in it. I will come on soon to update you gusy more.

Yes, if she is allergic to fish, the fish oil will affect her. Speaking as a human with food allergies, I know this very well.

Tell Paulie I am allergic to fish, too, it's not just her!

I will tell Paulie for you Karen
What do you think I should do should I try the Rabbit and green pea even though it has fish oil in it (we already ordered it)
Or try a food with no fish in it like

I would try the RC Green Pea & Rabbit for a while and she how she does on it. I know it's very hard to find a cat food that doesn't have any fish in it. My cat Storm seems to be okay with fish oil in his food but if the main ingedients are fish then he seems to become very itchy and have problems. Many cats are allergic to grains so I would try this RC grain free limited protein diet for a while and hopefully Paulie will do well on it. Good luck and please continue to keep us updated about her.

Thanks for your help krazyaboutkatz! I just talked to someone at RC and they said the fish oil they use they take the protien out and I guess that's the part cats are allergic too. I'm glad storm is better

Does anyone know I forgot to ask my vet, I know that since he's going to be on a food trial I should give him nothing else besides this food, I do brush his teeth with something the vet gave me called Virbac oral hygiene rinse should I stop using this or since there's no flavors in it is it ok to use, here is the immigrants
Chlorhexidine gluconate (0.12%), Cetylpyridinium chloride (0.05%), and Zinc in a soothing alcohol-free vehicle.

Hey everybody, just wanted to come on with a quick update. When we went to the vet last week she wanted us to start using revolution again and since them Paulie's itch has been better. He's still itching but not as bad. He's been eating Wellness for two weeks now and there are no bumps on her neck, does anyone know if she is allergic to something in this food if they would be broken out by now. I don't know if we should keep her on this wellness and see how it goes or try the royal canin which we already ordered? Also does anyone know if cats can be allergic to thickening agents like guar gym in wet food?
