I took my cat in to the vet because he had little red bumps from his tail leading up to the middle of his back. He has been licking them and cleaning himself more than usual. And in the process, coughing up hair balls for the first time in his life. And unfortunately, its causing the hair on that part of his back to thin and become more coarse. Hes strictly an indoor cat and is on flea and tick meds. The vet said she thinks its either a food allergy or a flea bite allergy.
She put him on a 2 week course of antibiotics and suggested i switch him to a hypoallergenic diet. I told her that my boyfriend and i are broke students and really cant afford that at the moment. She said that she understood, and said that if this doesnt work completely, to bring him back and she’ll test for food allergies.
Hes been eating Aldi brand dry cat food for almost 2 years now and he loves it. When i open a new bag, hes eating it even as i pour it into the plastic storage bin. (mind you, he doesnt have a set eating schedule, so theres always a bowl of food out)
He is 3 years old and fixed. He never goes outside, and he rarely gets any table scraps. He occasionally gets a piece of cheese or chicken, but only when the chicken has been boiled with no seasonings or sauces. We’ve tried giving him boiled chicken for a while but its too expensive and i honestly dont have the time to boil chicken 2-3 times a day.
Whats the best and or cheapest way to treat this problem? Can we just switch him to the aldi canned food, or any other type of canned food? Is the allergic reaction more common in dry food?
I just need some help and advice for a broke student trying to do whats right for our pet. Thank you in advance for any and all suggestions.

Please help by signing the petition to legalize Medical Marijuana in Arizona! Unfortunately, due to some errors in the wording of these laws, they have failed to protect medical marijuana patients from being arrested. The proposition will go before the voters in 2010 & will close this loophole and most importantly give patients the protection and peace of mind that Arizonans agree they deserve.

She was on Hills I/D dry food for about 6 weeks which produced diarrhea about once a week.
She was then put on Royal Canin Hypoallergenic dry food and has been on that for 5 weeks – this produces a mushy but non smelly soft stool approx 3 or 4 times a day.
She has also been on predisonel for about 4 weeks and down to 1/3 of a 2.5mg tablet a day. She has also just finished a course of Septrin. Those are the only two medications she has had.
She has the odd good stool day but quickly reverts back to bad and seems to be getting worse. It just squirts out and very loudly as if gas there too. I have seen her sort of inwardly belching at times too. Otherwise she is perfectly bright and healthy. The presidonel obviously gives her a big appetite and she eats a lot.
I live in a remote area of spain and my vet seems to have come to a dead end for ideas. We still have no idea what is causing this problem.
It may be coincidence but trouble started after she and her sister were neutered and shortly after I tried to switch them over to adult food – both cats had diarrhea and I quickly stopped and that was when vet prescibed Hills I/d.
Her sister’s diarrhea cleared up and has never returned.
She was last wormed 3 months ago and a fecal sample about a month ago showed no parasites.
I just wondered have you any clues as to what the problem is or where we should go from here?
I am tempted to pull her off the hypoallergenic diet as it has only accelerated her diarrhea, and switch her over to a grain free diet. Do you know of cats that have been allergic or had bad results to this hypoallergenic diet?

What if… instead of making blind statements, more people would do their research in regards to flesh consumption? Ignorance is nowhere near as bad as denial. Lets hope your mind suffers a cold, and not a disease. The Onision site: onision.com

My wife and are having a debate on how many cat treats our 3 year old cat Benson should get a day….I say 3 is fine, she’s leaning more towards 1, for fear of him getting "fat". The treat are from Active Care, "Healthy Joint Treats", made with real chicken, full of stuff like chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine, they’re all natural treats….
What do you guys think? is 3 too much or is 1 too little?
