Thanks - I saw that one on Amazon. Also looking at Wellness Core. Boy, this stuff is expensive. It's a good thing it's only feeding one cat so it will last a long time! 

Maisey has been on the Chicken and Green Pea formula ever since it was suggested to me here for my cat's sensitive tummy. It has done wonders for her. I'm not sure how much is sensitivity and how much is food allergy, but she rarely vomits and is doing great. However, I have a concern with it...

I like that, like Lazy. I've never seen that spelling before. I originally went with Maizie, but Maisey is easier to spell and looks better, IMO. Pookie-Poo: Do you worry about her liver with her being on those supplements? I know dietary supplements are better for the liver than prescription...

I call her "Maise" - just a shortening of Maisey. No, she's never been on fluids, past or present.

Oh and Sharky, she eats the Chicken & Peas one. I thought about trying the canned version, but if it has mashed peas in it, I know she probably won't go for it. It was a challenge to get her to eat the dry because of the scent of canned peas. I had to mix in some Blue Buffalo to help with that...

The vet mentioned it as a possibility but made it sound pretty remote because of Maisey's history and current condition. I know the increased vomiting at that time was a direct result of a food allergy, so we didn't have any reason to believe it would resume after being treated. Since it is...

Do you guys think if it is low-grade kidney failure (which is what I would guess it is if she has a kidney problem), that changing the food over at this point would help, or would it be too late? I really want to do what is best, but I was happy to finally find a food that she likes that she...

Is it true that wet food is much better on the digestive system? I just recently read this but took it with a grain of salt because it was on a site that sells (wet) cat foods. I've always heard that dry is ideal because it helps keep teeth strong. I've been concerned because my cat has been...

Ahhh, this thread really ballooned up. I was just on the phone trying to call the vet, but I guess their office closes at 5 instead of 6 like I'd thought. Pooh. I've spent the day at my doctor's and the pharmacy - found out I have ringworm of all things. I was afraid it was a reaction to going...

It's a steroid, and it's what I've always been given for my food allergies (I've had bad skin reactions twice, hives, actually, from eating mangoes). So I didn't think it was strange. She would've been given a cortisone shot, but she has a heart murmur.

Your vet didn't teach you how to pill a cat? Maisey has a food allergy and the vet prescribed Prednisone because Maise has a heart murmur so she couldn't have a cortisone shot. These are teeny pills, but my cat is very finkicky about food and I don't think wet food would be a good idea with her...

This is kind of a 'duh' question and I feel silly calling my vet about it, but... Maisey was prescribed Prednisone for a food allergy. She was biting off a lot of fur around her neck and upper body thus having regular (hairball) barfing spells. She's always been barfy, but lately it's increased...

Law Guy: She's only doing a cycle of Prednisone, then if she doesn't improve after this, I'll bring her in for blood tests. She's actually tolerating the medicine pretty well in general. I believe that she would've vomited anyway today with the medicine or not because it's every few days to a...

My cat does this, though not as often. She's been a puker since she was 1 or 2. I always thought it was hairballs cause she'd throw up a couple of days in a row until she puked up a pellet of fur. Then it would stop and resume again in a month or two. I didn't worry about it until last summer...

OK, good. I know it had to be an hour because I looked at the clock.
