I've think that Tiny is allergic to beef. When I was first trying out canned foods a few weeks ago, she got sick on a can of Authority beef flavor. I quit using the Authority brand because I thought it was the unnamed liver in the can making her sick. Lately, I've fed her the Wellness Chicken formula several times with no adverse reaction. Tonight, I fed the the the Chicken and Beef formula and within 5 minutes, she had thrown up a half dozen times. None of the other 3 cats got sick, so I think it has to be an allergy. Looking at the ingredients of the 2 formulas, I don't see much of a difference other than the fact one has beef in it and one doesn't:
I haven't seen beef mentioned as an allergen, but does anyone see something else that would make her sick like that?Chicken Formula:
