(47,209 posts)apparently common. But I think it was grains that bothered her more than anything. If I give her 100% chicken or beef baby food (first stages, no salt/ spices) she tolerates it fine. Apparently it's because it is an ultra fine mince, it's much easier on the stomach. I used to give her a cheaper version of rabbit (Evanger) and then the grind got coarser she was choaking and I noticed fine bone fragments in it. But rabbit and duck seem to give her the least trouble.
The bug she got years ago can cause ulcerations in the intestinal tract, (as well as blindness and dementia) and they can become cancerous and it spreads quickly. That is what happened to the cat I adopted with her years ago, so it appears they both came to me post infection. Neither of them had the nice wavy coat that they are supposed to, and the breeder blamed it on them blowing their coats after pregnancy. But when Pea had some heavy antibiotics, her coat grew in, so they imagine she had a low level infection all those years. Luckily she eats so much that she will never be malnourished. I might try some of the Canin Sensitive stomach too.
