Poor Oscar! I have no advice on this, but I just want to send my prayers and best wishes along to him. I hope the vet can come up with some answers and some satisfactory treatment.

I did just read in the last couple of days that you have to measure protein content differently comparing wet foods to dry foods. Something like you multiply the wet food protein level by 4 to find the comparable level in the dry food, because of all the water in the pet food, or something like that. I don't remember exactly, so don't regard that as accurate. I'm trying to track down where I read that, and if I do, I'll post it here. In the meantime, run that by your vet and see what he/she says.

Also, there are limited-ingredient foods that are helpful in determining allergies.. Natural Balance makes some: http://www.naturalbalanceinc.com/pro...anned+Formulas
