Hi there, I feed my babies Natural Balance Original Ultra & my baby girl does the same thing! I thought it was food allergies too, but I asked my vet & she said food allergies are very rare...maybe it's fleas. I use Frontline Plus on all my babies, so it couldn't be fleas...wrong! These pests hide in the carpet, any cracks & crevices, since it's cold out. There seemed to be an outbreak in my home when it was cold couple of weeks ago (I live in CA) & we had the heater on 24-7. They started popping up here & there, everywhere. Plus Fish & Sweet Potato shouldn't cause allergies since it's a single protein, & usually, if they're allergic, it would most likely be chicken. Make sure when switching food, do it gradually...or the poor babies will get diarrhea.
