Sooooo, she said that we should do trial and error first since it's just random and not frequently. She wants me to switch her to all wet/moist food. She said she thinks she is having a hard time digesting the dry food. Also she wants me to switch her to something with less than 12% fat. She is currently eating Halo brand and she told me a few foods to choose from. However, the foods she told me to choose from were Eukanuba, Science Diet, and a few others, but I can't remember now! I thought those two foods weren't good at all?  She said I need to put her on a premium high quality food. I honestly thought Halo was?! She told me that it is but if she's allergic to it, then we have to switch. So, here I sit, confused as ever because she mentioned Pancreatitis, and food allergies, but I thought she was thinking more it was her tummy not digesting the food enough?! I am going to switch her food though per the vet and just play the waiting game I suppose.... |
Well, when I went through this I had an extraordinarily crappy vet who told me I was crazy for thinking there was something wrong with my cat (I have since found a new vet). What I did was I switched Suki's food on my own after figuring out via the internet it was most likely food allergies. Chances are, if they are throwing up whole food and itching it might be food allergies.
I switched her to Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diet food. Rylie (my morkie) is now on it as well. It comes in "small breed bites" size for dogs in the potato and duck variety. It is lower protein than a lot of foods too, which I like.
I would try NB LID if I were you. It addresses a few of the potential problems all in one go (food allergies would be solved by the LID and grain free and weird protein source, smaller pieces of kibble to aid digestion, lower protein levels than other foods, etc.). If you get the bag from Petco, and your baby does not improve on it, you can return it for a full refund and try something else!
This is my suggestion, but is by no means expert advice. It worked for us and I hope you find something that works for you!
P.S. I know they make LID wet food for cats, but Suki is on the kibble. Not sure if they have LID wet food for dogs though since we don't feed wet at all.
