Thank you! I stopped the Purina EN,it obviously isn’t working. I purchased a can of the Natures Instinct – lamb. She ate it yesterday and had a mostly formed BM this morning,moderate mucus.

She was on Royal Cainin for years and then started having problems. She developed small amounts of blood in the stool ,about 3 times and then she started having small amounts of mucus. Bascially her BM changed. She then started throwing up,however the vomit was barrel shaped and solid. She would retch before it happened so, vs regurgitation.

I stopped the Royal Canin after the first vet visit, she never really liked that food and I suspected that it was the problem.

I’ve compared all three foods. Rice and chicken are common ingredients. You are correct that chicken is the probably cause. It could also be the grains. I noticed that she hasn’t scratched much since yesterday.

I am shocked that for years I have belived what the vets said about her scratching. I’ve wasted money on office visits for this reason. She would scratch (constantly) but never to the point of injuring her skin.

I am disappointed in myself at not catching on to a possible food allergy sooner,even when the EN was perscribed. Its not even grain free!

I will start the ground meat and rice tomorrow. Any specific type of grpund?
