I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Wow that's horrible and such a severe reaction, make sure you always have an antihistamine with you. Glad he's doing better, but you should know, allergies can get worse each time they are exposed.

I asked the Primal Rep. if she thought it could be the Lamb since that is the only thing different in both the Lamb and Chicken formulas. She said it could actually be "anything" in there inasmuch as even though what is listed in the Chicken and Lamb is the same it may not necessarily be the same...if that makes sense. She said that that is why they tell people to stick with one protein bag at a time, and then switch when the bag is finished.... but that if he had a reaction to the bag of Lamb that I should probably stay away from it! | |

I did a bag of Venison.... a bag of Turkey/Sardine and I think we have done Duck, but I can't remember. I am pretty sure we also did Lamb, and he had no reaction.... but it has been at least 6 months. | |

No... we weren't out long because it had been raining. That is a good point....!! because he has had the Lamb, before.... I am going to write the lot # down and call them again, with it. She did ask me to give her the lot # off the bag, but I had called her from work. She said I didn't really need to have it... and to just take the bag back to the store for a full refund. | |

But if a bag of the Primal Lamb takes a month to eat, wouldn't there have been some sort of sign before if he were allergic before? Are they like us, who can be okay with it and then suddenly not. I had taken penicillin before for strep throat with no problem, then suddenly, I had a really really BAD allergic reaction to it another time and I am never to take it again. He did have a bought of what the vet said was environmental allergies from something he walked over, back in May.... but I don't remember if he was eating the Primal Lamb at that time.....?!?! It is all very interesting to me!! It is scary!! I am leaving work now. Hoping he will be much better... if not, we are heading to the vet!! | |

| I feed Nature's Instinct Raw and I decided to try Primal just for a change. My little one got sick. I took her to the vet and she checked her urine and said she had never seen a normal PH with so many crystals in it before. The only thing that had changed was the food switch. I went back to NI and within two weeks (along with meds and cranberry powder) she was back to normal. I emailed Primal and the head honcho said he would reimburse me for the food and to fax him the vet bills and he would decided if they should pay them also. Guess what? He never did either and never emailed me back. I wouldn't feed Primal even if it didn't make my little one sick!!! NI is 95% meat as opposed to Primal which I believe is only 70% meat. |

| Mine can't eat lamb generally. It has always given mine GI issues. I stick with chicken as their base protein but will give others as a topper.

| Poor Riley, glad he is doing better. When Jack allergies were acting up earlier first part of spring he got real pink like Riley. Maybe not as bad. I felt so bad for him. I had rx from vet and gave to him cause the scratching also was bad. I felt so bad for him and couldn't do anything till the rx kick in. I took a wet cool rag and held it on his under side and it seem to help him. I didn't like the effect the rx had on him(made hime very drowsy) so I gave him the Benadryl the next day. It seem to not make him as drowsy but a little bit. Does the Benadryl make Riley drowsy? |
