Hi there! It sounds like your cat might be having an adverse reaction to their prescription food. Cats, like people, can sometimes develop allergies or intolerances to certain ingredients. Common culprits include specific proteins or additives. You might notice symptoms like itching, skin redness, vomiting, diarrhea, or even respiratory issues.
For now, you can keep your kitty comfortable while avoiding any further exposure to that particular food. Consider reverting to a previous diet that your cat tolerated well, ideally still within your vet’s recommendations. Be sure to transition foods gradually over 7-10 days to avoid any upset stomachs.
Keep an eye out for persistent symptoms such as intense itching, swelling, severe vomiting, diarrhea, or difficulty breathing—these could indicate a more serious reaction that requires immediate veterinary attention.
It might be beneficial to schedule a video consult with a Dial A Vet professional to discuss alternative diet options and get personalized advice based on your cat’s specific health needs. We’re here to help ensure your kitty stays healthy and happy!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
