Previously I posted about my poor cat Winnie with the gunky white eye. The special vet Opthm. I took her to gave me medication to treat the eye but didn't really discuss what caused the irritation. Based on her previous issues with Rodent Ulcer, and my research via the Internet and feeding experiments I was able to determine that both the Rodent Ulcers AND the eye issues were linked to a food allergy.
At the time, Natural Balance's Venison and Green Pea was highly recommended as a nonprescription food for cats with food allergies.
Since it would be nearly impossible to feed my shy cat separately from the rest, I started feeding all 5 the pricey NB stuff. Winnie's mouth ulcers disappeared and while her eye didn't heal instantly it really was looking better.
And now I find that this expensive and supposedly wonderful cat food is being recalled!
Not only am I freaked out about the fact that I've been feeding my babies this stuff, I'm also at a loss as to what I should be feeding them now.
Can anyone PLEASE recommend a (currently) SAFE food for cats with food allergies?
I'm going to try to go through the list of SAFE cat foods, but from what I can see so far, it's nearly impossible to find any Hypoallergenic foods
I appreciate any help you guys can offer. Right now I've removed all the NB from their bowl and replaced it with some of the Anergen food I had at home that they really seemed to hate I'm sure they're looking forward to any recommendations for a yummy, safe, hypoallergenic food as well
Thanks,
Heidi
