Hello!
I have a cat whose intestines are fairly irritated, and we're currently working with the assumption of a food allergy. His issue started after he began eating more dry food (was on N&D Kitten first - both with and without grains - along with RC Kitten, wet, which was slowly removed from his diet). He's been eating Pro Plan Hydrolized kibble for 20 days, and I'll likely keep him on it for a while longer.
I've been researching what the next food trial should be, and I'm keen on novel protein. I've also been advised here on the forums to try wet food next, and, from what I've been reading, it does sound like a good idea. Specially because it seems like he didn't have as many issues back when he ate mostly RC Kitten. The problem is... I don't see any novel protein for kittens, specifically. I know his hydrolized kibble isn't meant for kittens either, and the vet told me it wouldn't be an issue. Has anyone given canned novel protein for their kittens?
I'm currently in Brazil, but will be traveling back with my kitten to France halfway through July (it's where I actually live, I've been with my family for a few months), so I'm also conscious of looking for food that I will find both here and there. Or just there, if the vet tells me I need to wait until August to try something else. I hear a lot of things about N&D and they seem to have a few different type of proteins - some of which are canned, too. Do you have any suggestions?
I'd love some recommendations about adding probiotics to his diet, too, and which types/brands I could look for. I really only know Fortiflora.
