cat with food allergies

[laceykins]

thanks, Lacykins.  I did take her to the vet, who gave her the steroid shot and prescribed steroids.  He said he was confident it was a food allergy.
She stopped vomiting, and now has been on petguard canned food with no preservatives, soy, corn, gluten, colors, etc - and she seems to be tolerating that well.  I have not given her the prednisone pills .

She is definitely feeling better, her ears and face are returning to normal and she is losing weight (had gained 2 pounds since May, vet said that was a weight gain attributable to allergy) - and is much more energetic and active.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed - if I can keep her on this food, which is expensive to me, I can avoid the next step which is double the cost - that would be fresh or frozen ground protein, bones, and vitamins/taurine.  That would run about $4 a pound.

I'm crossing my fingers for you too! Glad she didn't need the prednisone, that stuff makes my animals act super depressed.
