Re: Porsha's test results..


Hi Amie, thanks for that, I have indeed found a supplier of ostrich meat if I need to go down the route of an alternative diet for her. At the moment she is tolerating RC sensible 33 so I will keep her on that as long as it suits her.

Thanks DM, I got the full list a couple of days ago, here it is......

IgE scores - scores for these indicate that the cat has a true food hypersensitivity (classical allergy) to these foodstuffs

she tested IgE positive for the following foodstuffs


beef
pork
lamb
duck
chicken
turkey
rabbit
tuna
white fish
soybean
corn

IgG scores - these scores indicate that these foodstuffs may be implicated in a food intolerance (delayed allergy)

She tested IgG positive for the following..

chicken
turkey
tuna
milk
salmon

Her highest scores indicating worst allergy were for chicken, Salmon and milk

Re: Porsha's test results..


So, if the worst came to the worst and she no longer tolerates the proprietary food you could consider any of the following, with rice or pasta (I didn't miss wheat intolerance did I?) for bulk
pidgeon/pheasant (make friends with shooters)
venison (ditto)
ostritch!
herring/sprat/sardine/whitebait/mackerel
shellfish
squid

But if she's doing fine as she is, long may that continue

Oh yes - I forgot eggs - good source of protein, dead easy and most cats love 'em

Re: Porsha's test results..


That's quite a list Fran - at least you have something to work around now if she gets fed up of the RC sensible 33..

Has Porsha had any 'bad' days since she has been on the RC 33 ?

Well I had only just switched her over to this before she had the biopsy and spey done, prior to that she had been on RC Siamese. She had a runny bum after the biopsy but they put her on RC chicken and rice pouches whilst she was in the hospital as they thought it would be gentler on her tum in all fairness they couldn't have predicted the results of the allergy test. She has been absolutely fine since then, no runs at all and the most normal poos ever since getting her so I am really hopeful that the RC sensible suits her and of course she now doesn't have the stress of calling, which I do think contributed to the timing of some of the episodes

Re: Porsha's test results..


I'm so pleased to read that Fran, you must be so relieved that you are getting somewhere at long last...
