Some of his issues that we have identified so far include FIC, eosinophilic granuloma, pancreatitis, and chronic herpesvirus. Our vet has also suggested he might have asthma and there was some concern for IBD but I think that may be less of a concern now. The vet is the one who disgnosed the...

GI-wise he seems to have mild pancreatitis. The vet mentioned IBD is a possibility but preliminary testing was negative and I don't want to do the biopsy. He also seems to have some allergies but we are unsure if they are food or environmental, or even triggered by stress. He finally got over a...

I was wondering if anyone could give me some recommendations on some healthy cat food. My young cat has been dealing with a few chornic conditions and some digestive issues so I want to get him the healthiest food possible given some contraints. I've read that raw is the best, but time is my...
