We had to take Poppy to the vet on Friday. The poor babes, she has digestive problems and over the last couple of weeks she's had quite a flare up.
After investigations she was diagnosed with food allergy some time back and it turned out the main problem is fish - her most fav food! Thing is, fish derivatives are in all cat food and cat treats, so she spent three months on ZD to calm everything down (which is basically some tasteless 'cardboard' coated with flavour!) and then progressed onto DD veneson and green pea, which she's been on for ages and doing well on until her symptoms flared up recently.
So now she's been put on ID (intestinal diet) and thankfully she's responding well, plus some short term medication has helped. She's loving her new food though and can't get enough of it. It's nice to see her full and relaxed, she's like a new cat!
Oh and she was very well behaved to and from the vets; no soiling in her basket at all, bless her.
