Update on Brodie . . . More Allergies???

[christa]

Maybe your vet can suggest some way to make it more appetizing. Come on, Brodie... Meowmie is only trying to help you feel better, your new food can't be so bad. Go ahead and give it a try, okay?

Actually, this new food, the D/D, is supposed to be REALLY YUMMY!!!

AND . . . there's 3 or 4 different flavors . . .

Duck & Green Pea
Venison & Green Pea
Rabbit & Green Pea

LOL . . . anyway, the vet says that cats really really really like the taste. So that shouldn't be a problem.

Christa, I missed thisearlier! So sorry to hear this about poor Brodie! and I was so hopeful the hairball food wold help! At least he was keeping it down better than the other food

Please keep us updated on how things are going.

We are praying taht ypu can get Brodie to eat his Food. When I still was Guardian of Mr Scrappy they gace me a Medical Senior Food for him,which Michael,then a Kitten loved.
I hope that you can do better with Brodie.

Often Hill's has wet food in the same formulas as the dry...maybe adding some of that to the dry would make it more appetizing. If there isn't the exact formula, maybe your vet has a wet Hill's or other food that would be ok.

Good luck with poor Brodie!

They do make the D/D in wet food . . . it's just hard to give one wet and not the other. Josie can't have wet because if she eats anything even remotely soft, she scoots her little bum all over the carpet for days! But I might think about getting a few cans from the vet for Brodie to give him . . . maybe I can sneak them to him in the laundry room or something. Thanks for the idea.

I'm so sorry to hear about Brodie. Hopefully his new diet will do the trick and he'll also enjoy eating it. Please continue to keep us updated.

Those foods sound yummy enough for people!

I hope that you can get this resolved and the cat weaned off pred. Steroids can cause liver damage and diabetes if used long term.

Do you have to get the above still from the vet? When Skinny had all his problems our vet recommended trying the Venison & Green Pea. Only thing was we had to buy it there and it wasnt cheap and came in small bags. Being so far away 25 miles it wasnt a fast trip to pick up food on regular basis and to expensive to feed at the time all 3. I asked to research other foods and found Nutro that worked for us so we didnt have to go the Venison & Pea. Maybe there are places on line now with rx you can purchase and get better deals than going through the vets office.

The rabbit/pea I've seen for dog's out in stores (PetSmart for example) for general public to buy. Be nice if they did that for cat rabbit/pea.

Good Luck

Christa, I'm just now seeing this but at least maybe now you know the problem and can control it. Poor Brodie.

What are you guys doing up in KY? Maybe you need a new state flower with all those allergies, LOL.
