Snowshoe's question about Meat Protein Allergies

Question

Is it possible for a cat to develop additional protein allergies after having been fed that protein for a few months? I am currently trying the elimination diet to determine which protein(s) she has an allergy too. Started with lamb, and after a month her skin condition improved 100%. This lasted a few weeks but then her skin slowly started getting worse, while still on the same single lamb protein.

Accepted Answer

It is possible that Cordi is developing allergies to that protein, but is also possible that she has allergies to environmental allergens that are complicating things.  Since I don't know all of the history and Cordi's situation, it would be best to check in with your veterinarian to see if you can figure out what is happening that is causing her problems.
