Kelly,
I'm guessing the reason rabbit and venison have worked for some people
is because of the "novel" protein approach. Novel, meaning a protein
source that they haven't been exposed to and therefore would probably
not have an allergic reaction to. I've fed Gypsy rabbit, (I know it
hurts), I got mine frozen and quartered from the grocery store. She got
tired of it though and stopped eating it. I've tried venison too.
There was a point where I thought I might run out of protein sources in
the animal kingdom. Gypsy did really well at first on raw salmon, then
duck, then salmon and duck. That was expensive! She's now on a
homemade cooked turkey mush diet that's working well for her. I'll send
you the recipe off list so I can attach it. Be warned, it's a great
deal of trouble, but not nearly as much as doting on a sick kitty.

Hi Nina,
Their mom has been diagnosed with IBD, so that very well may be it.
Is it genetic? I dont' know too much about IBD yet as Ciara was
recently diagnosed, maybe 2-3 weeks ago. We are still working on
getting her symptoms under control. I have heard about all different
sorts of diets working for different people. Some swear by rabbit (I
don't think I can feed rabbit. That would be like feeding cat, to
me.) Some by venison, etc. I'm guessing it depends on the cat?
