Runny eyes,possible swollen n eye lids, about 85% herself..still has appetite

started about 24 hours ago,10 years old female,never goes outside, started eating tuna about 2 months ago, started eating blue buffalo 'for sensitive stomach' about 78 hours ago  ...ate blue buffalo 'indoor' for years

thoughts please?

Sounds like a definite allergic reaction to something. What I don't know :dk:. Could be the food or an environmental allergy. I doubt it would be the tuna since you have been feeding that for two month's. If these symptoms just came on after starting the Blue Buffalo Sensitive Stomach, then I would think it is something in the ingredient's that is the culprit. Maybe go back to the Blue Buffalo brand you were feeding before - Indoor. Not sure, though, if you switched to Sensitive Stomach due to a problem. A little more information, might help too. if this keep's up, I would take your kitty to the vet.

I've been through that for years with my Lucas, he has food allergies, but trying to figure out what is causing the allergies has been the most difficult part, I'm still working on it.  It could also be other things your kitty is allergic to.

If I were you, I would do what Lauren says, go back to the indoor food to see if she gets better and go from there.

Just checking . Hope your kitty is doing better :cross:......

thanks everyone,her symptoms appear to be stable. i am going on the suggestion it is allegy-ies

could it be this?:, my cats only drink brita-filtered tap water for the past seven years.  about two weeks ago my cats started drinking tap water for the first time in seven years.  could it be something in the tap water? that she is allegic to?  i am going back to brita filters tomorrow.



She is copying how i sleep, one arm in,one arm out

It's been known to happen before, so it's entirely possible. What an easy fix that would be, eh?

Good luck! Let us know how she does after you put her back on the filtered water.

My cat is allergic to something in Wellness canned.  It was a terrible experience for us and took me 3 months to figure out it was Wellness.   I never touch Wellness since.

YES - that would be the obvious issue here - hope going back on the filtered water helps :cross:.....

You are not alone in this - I just recently tried to bring back Wellness into my cat's rotation again. Pipsqueak's chin flared up again . I tried Wellness Chicken, Beef&Chicken, and Turkey. It just surprises me so much how just one ingredient in cat food can send our cat's into such a severe allergic reaction..... Funny thing is - year's ago - I never even thought about what to feed my cat's - just bought whatever was sale at the grocery store ... they survived. But I can say - I had a lot more puking back then.
