Hi Leslie,
Thanks for the raw diet tip, I couldn't get the link to work, but I'm sure I
can find the group if I head over to Yahoo. I'm not quite ready to try raw
yet, I guess our plan right now is to try the California Natural first, Hill's
prescription second, and homemade third. He is
Hi Beth,
If you are really thinking about raw, it can be kind of a mystery as to what
to mix up, I used this recipe from a great Yahoo group called rawpaws.
They are wonderful over there, really helpful.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, CAT PEOPLE!!!
Thank you everyone for the responses to my food allergy question. I forgot

Thanks Marilyn, I don't mind the work if it helps us figure out this problem.

Thanks Michelle, I'll head to that site next. Poor Scooter is sleeping in my
lap now, resting his collared head on my arm. He is such a love, he looked

vomit... it was terrible. One time she twisted her intestine she was so
sick (the twist actually required surgery to correct)! We took her and had
allergy testing done... it was not much money considering what we've
*Our regular vet did the test... I will look to see where they sent it to be

Madison is doing well!
