Hi! We're new to this site & hoping to get some advice.....
We adopted our cat Izzy about 6 months ago. She's a persian estimated to be about 4 years old. She was found wandering the streets & shortly after we got her we noticed her diarrhea, we took her to the vet & the ran some tests thinking that she had parasites from living on the streets, even with the diarrhea she managed to put some weight on. They switched her food to a canned prescription diet which she did eat, but did not like. About 2 months ago we were told that the A/D canned cat food was not acceptable for a long term diet, since then we have tried many other canned cat foods & her diarrhea is fine with all of the canned foods, however, she does not like them, we have also tried many dry foods, which she loves, we've tried different varieties for sensitive stomachs, organic versians and ones without corn or gluten & all of them give her diarrhea. The problem is that she does not like the moist food & is beginning to lose weight, we have had her in the vet numerous times & purchased every food imaginable.......I was hoping that one of you may have some advice? Has anyone else experienced a problem like this? We don't know what it is in the dry food that upsets her stomach, are there any varieties out there that she might be able to digest? Or are there any moist varieties out there that cats tend to like the best?
Thanks!!
