I am new to posting to this site but I've read 100's of posts and comments over the years when needing advice. I'm writing out of true desperation at this point. Long story short.
13 year old male spayed cat
Allergies to unknown origin on atopica for last 2-3 years (I've lost count)
Recent rash of medical issues including allergy induced asthma, ear infection, runny eye, uti, chronic diarrhea.
Currently uti free, ear infection free but persistent diarrhea.
Waiting for appointment with veterinary dermatologist in March.
In the meantime, dermatologist rx ZD food to rule out food allergy. He is eating 1/2 can in AM with probiotic and free feeds on dry. Diarrhea is horrific and he's pooping in places he shouldn't which is new other than for when he has uti. Since I know he doesn't have uti (recent vet check 2 days ago) I'm wondering if this change to ZD from Instict Limited Ingredient Turkey and Wellness canned is causing this upset. I just removed all the ZD food and put back out the old stuff. He's been on ZD for around 2 weeks. Thought otomax was causing diarrhea but he hasn't had that for almost a week now.
