Anyone else with a cat that has a sensitive stomach?
(hexbear.net)
Mr. Softie's tummy has been bothering him again and I can't get him to the vet anytime soon. Every couple of days he throws up stomach acid and his poops are very runny. If any other hexbear out there has experience with a cat like this, is there any food you recommend?
My cat has a chicken allergy. Manifests as diarrhea, indigestion and hives. It's a pain in the ass bc they put chicken in everything.
He gets Purina indoor advantage which is turkey based. It has chicken meal on the ingredients list but he seems to do fine on it.
You might try him on a chicken free food. Apparently chicken allergies are not that uncommon in cats.
Same for my two cats, they are on non-chicken diets (rabbit-based and I think duck-based) and their vomiting, diarrhea, and itchiness have all been greatly reduced or outright eliminated.
My partner (a practicing small animal veterinarian) sorted them out a few years ago, and also confirms that chicken allergies are super common. They were fine for 5 or 6 years of their lives, then they just were unable to handle the chicken. Figuring out which of the alternatives they liked enough to consistently eat was the toughest part, lol, they're super picky.
