Carbohydrates low in gluten may also be helpful; avoid wheat, oats, rye, and barley. Also a higher omega 3 -fatty acid is recommended, which food?

ANSWER:

Hi Tracie,

Thank you for contacting me regarding your pet. I am sorry to hear that your cat is having health issues.

My assumption is that your vet has made the recommendation to change cat food to one that will be better tolerated by your pet. I would suggest that you talk further with your vet and ask your vet for a food recommendation. There are many things to take into consideration including the irritable bowel diagnosis, other health issues, age of your cat, etc. when deciding what might best fit your pet's needs.

Good luck and thanks again for contacting me.
