These are hydrolyzed (protein broken down so far that the immune system does not react). Megansmomma mentioned the RC food. Science Diet and Purina also make these foods.
During this 12 week trial NOTHING else should be given (no treats, no edible chews, no crumbs from the floor, no flavored meds).
Most allergies are not food related, though. |
I am so upset sinse reading meganmommas reply, I didn't know I was to try other foods, I was just told to feed the limited ingred. I kept him on NB sweet potato with veniso, last month I gave him with Bison, he's beem on LI for 3 months, I just took him to the vet 9 days ago, now he's getting meds for environment allergies, I don't him to take pills if it's related to food. Now I don't know if I should call the vet, stop this med and continue trying various foods. I don't know what to now, most members said what I put in bold letters. I just don't know now what I should do. I am trying to keep Cody's stress level down, what I'm doing is raising mine along with my blood pressure.
