so in the past month or so kirby has had intermitent mucus and occassional blood in his stool. we called the vet my wife's family uses (the vet i used to visit left her original hospital). they didn't think he needed to come in for tests yet, but gave her some IVD Neutral Formula food to try. i found out where my old vet moved to and called to get her opinion yesterday. she would have recommeneded one of the hypoallergenic formulas, but said the Neutral is probably still not a bad place to start to see if the problem is a food allergy. but, i wasn't too impressed with the ingredient list of the IVD, nor do i want to become hooked on vet priced food if not necessary.
the primary food i fed kirby was nutro natural choice complete care, then the indoor version when it came out, as well as royal canin indoor at times.
i'm wondering if something like Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul might be worth trying, as it has no corn products, and seems to have a fairly neutral blend of ingredients, though the dried skim milk has me a little worried...??
any other thoughts?
thanks,
phil
