Thanks a ton, Laurie! That's great advice. I am leaning towards the rice and chicken. 24 hours fast? Calvin loves, LOVES to eat. He'll drive us nuts begging but then again, have to look at his health.
Silly question: IS it ok if I give Calvin frozen chicken breasts boiled? They are organic, no antibiotics, no preservative kinds that I picked from Trader Joe's?
The vet's office staff suggested low residue Iams or asked me to try Purina One for sensitive systems. I am somehow not so comfortable with these brands and they suggested different brands on Fancy Feast. That is what they all treat their cats. I don't know what the vet's feed but the techs and nice people at the office feed their cats that. I really like them and do not want to appear snooty but as many agree, there are other choices. They are really great people and they do have a ton of prescription food in their office (they carry IAMS, Hill's and perhaps some Royal Canin, too) but do not feel that Calvin's at the stage to need them.
I was just talking to DH and it dawned on us that Calvin's constant issues (not taking into consideration the occasional ones), started around the time when I transitioned him to Wellness Kitten. I actually did a 10 day transition. SO perhaps I having been missing something all along? Maybe his worm issues had resolved and it is the Wellness that he does not tolerate?
