He's really not liking the Royal Canin food that I bought for him at the vet Monday. Kind of a good thing because it was $100 for 24 cans and I can't afford that at all. He won't eat the food unless I put Fancy Feast on it.
Going to get the Instinct rabbit flavor when I get paid on the 20th, more affordable. Hoping he will like that kind!
Does anyone have any suggestions on a rabbit or another "unusual" meat wet food that's low in carbs but affordable, and has NO fish? I went by the advice from last week of getting the Fancy Feast flavors without any fish in them. I am thinking that the scabs and the throwing up are due to fish allergy, even though I have given him fish flavor food before. But I am praying that's all it is. The vet told me to put him back on flea meds, even though I don't think its fleas. I have to wait until the 23rd of this month to put another round on him, so until then, I am going to give him his usual every Saturday oatmeal bath, it seems to be working a little bit regarding his scabs. He is still puking, but since Monday, hes only puking usually during the night, and its not all hairball and mush, sometimes its liquid, sometimes its mushy hairball, but that seems to be getting a tad bit better! His scabs are healing slowly, and I am not noticing any big new ones since getting him off anything fish flavor, so within the last couple days. But he's limping on one leg; I am thinking due to the scabs? Scared that it could be feline diabetic neuropathy...God I hope not, Bubbas doesn't need any new problems.
Also, I am doing some research and saw that Purina Beyond Grain Free has a duck and sweet potato flavor, the carbs are low...and the price is reasonable, is it ok for a diabetic cat to have sweet potato? Also, I keep switching Bubbas' food, trying to find the best food for the best cost and I keep finding better and better, is that not good? And could that be a reason for throwing up?
