On day 2 of an elimination diet in hopes of isolating a food allergy. My cat Lexi has been exhibiting signs of itching skin and has scratched herself raw in a few places over he past few months. She has been fed a wide variety of proteins over the past several months including chicken, turkey, duck, lamb, and rabbit. She does not appear to be too fond of the Hill's canned Venison Formula d/d we're trying, but she did eat the past two meals I offered her. The vet also gave me two cans of Hill's hydrolyzed chicken to try. See which she prefers. I doubt I would feed her the hydrolyzed long term, but perhaps for 8-12 weeks. I may investigate home cooked and discuss with the Vet. Also other novel protein foods that board members have mentioned. Lexi is a bit food obsessed, so I suppose eating begrudgingly for a while would be OK. That said, we like our pets to enjoy their meals.
