Re: Porsha's test results..


........ have had my thinking cap on.
So, here are some other 'possibles'
Tuna? (canned tuna in springwater would be an acceptable base, with supplements added now and then?)
Egg?
Organ meats? - heart/liver/brain/maybe tongue?
Cheese? (grated cheese on hot pasta, left to cool for Porsha - sounds good to me, hope it might to her)
Other dairy - yoghurt/mozarella/ricotta/marscapone
Peas? (quite a lot of protein in pulses, so you could look at all peas/beans {I know she can't do soya}, lentils, pearl barley
Pulses and rice or pulses and wheat (bread or pasta) combine to form 'complete protein' for non-meat eating humans, don't know if it is the same for cats.
(Can you tell I have my 'former vegetarian' head on here? Trying to think of the protein foods we ate instead of meat)
Think about Quorn. It's a fake meat protein, made from mycoprotein, which I think may be another word for mould/fungus but the plain mock mince and plain mock chicken fillets are good. I still use both, even though I eat a little beef and lamb and the occassional organic happy chicken now and again.

I'll have a look at the complete list when you post it and see if I can come up with other suggestions.

Re: Porsha's test results..


Hope you can find something she can eat.
If she isn't allergic to venison then you can try d/d which is a presciption diet that Tilly has to eat, as she was also having problems with food intolerances. My vet said that Tilly would be Ok on unique forms of animal protein such as venison ostrich and stange types of fish which I can't remember the names to.

Best of luck
Sally
ps here are some links to prescription diets that might be OK for Porsha.

Re: Porsha's test results..


Thank you, DM - I'll post the full list up when we get it and we can have a look and see what exactly we can feed her. In the mean time I'll have a look at Sally's links...Venison could be the way to go? I don't think any of the 'stranger' meats were identified as she has never had them so she couldn't show an intolerance to something she has never had. I really need that full list and then I have something to work on. Thanks for that Sally...

Duck was one of her allergens as was rabbit...but the others are worth a try..
