I have a FIV cat with Ibd. My other cats get fed raw but my FIV cat gets canned. He was a feral I brought in after his blood results came in positive. Truth be told he should have been brought in way before that considering he just wasn't able to thrive outside like other ferals. It has been a long hard road to hit upon a food that doesn't causes projectile vomiting or horrendous smelling diarrhea, let alone the incessant biting and scratching at paws and legs. It was when I switched to Nature's Variety rabbit canned that it stopped overnight. Interestingly when I tried Wild Callings rabbit canned his obsessive chewing on himself came back. I personally believe that the liver source is NOT rabbit but possibly a fowl source from his reaction. Or it is the brewers yeast. What else could it be? Also, if anyone knows, how long can I feed this one protein source to the poor baby? Won't he eventually develop an allergy? So hesitant to switch to raw and possibly cause more suffering. When I finally got him inside he had a deep wound on back of leg with no fur. His eyes were literally bleeding with swollen inner eyelids. His belly was bloated to the point he looked like he would burst with raw anus......just a mess. But he is safe now and given a very stress free environment to be the lap cat I guess he always wanted to be considering he is more affectionate than my original two inside kitties. So I would love some advice.
