Need a solution for my cats food allergies.

Hello there! I'm sorry to hear your cat is dealing with food allergies; I know it can be quite concerning. Food allergies in cats are often caused by certain proteins, like chicken, beef, or fish, and sometimes grains. These allergies can lead to symptoms like itching, skin problems, vomiting, or diarrhea.



To help your cat, consider starting with a limited ingredient diet. This involves feeding a food that contains novel proteins or hydrolyzed proteins, which your cat has never been exposed to before. It's important to do this under supervision as it requires eliminating all other types of food and treats to identify the allergen.



At home, keep an eye on your cat's skin condition and any gastrointestinal symptoms. If you notice swelling, difficulty breathing, or if the symptoms persist despite dietary changes, these could be signs of a more serious issue that needs immediate attention.



Lastly, it might be beneficial to book a video consult with one of our vets here at Dial A Vet. We can guide you through the elimination diet process more closely and provide tailored advice to ensure your furry friend feels better soon.
