Thanks, Nina. Yeah, one of the things I looked for
was low-allergen, no corn food that I could get easily
(PetCo, instead of driving farther to a specialty
store) and was not too expensive. I guess I got lucky
that I found Natural Balance and that Melange (male)
likes it!
I'm also getting a full CBC on him annually so that
the vet and I can keep an eye on his blood levels and
be alerted sooner if there is a problem. Semuta went
downhill so fast yet the ultrasound showed such a
large tumor that it was surprising and disappointing
we didn't know about it sooner when he could have had
chemo or something. I'm definitely watching Melange
like a hawk now. :)
I hope Gypsy feels better soon and you can treat her
successfully. It's nice to hear success stories on
this list.

Hi Jill,
I'm sorry about your losing Semuta, and happy that
Melange is doing
well. I doubt that Melange will suddenly develop IBD,
especially since
you've got him (?) on a quality diet and I'm sure you
watch him like a
hawk. I have tried the NB Venison, Gypsy ate it for a
little while,
then decided she didn't like it. I still have an
almost full bag of
the
stuff. She, and my other cats, actually went through
2 1/2 bags of the
stuff before Gypsy stopped eating it. That's when I
found the Solid
Gold Lamb, it's expensive, but it's really high
quality too and they
like it.
I'm concerned that I may be dealing with lymphoma as
well. Thanks for
the input, and sharing your story.
Nina
