When to switch to hydrolyzed/prescription diet?
I adopted a 9 year old cat and he is getting bald patches (ruled out infections, mites etc by the vet!) i’ve only had him a month now but im worried about the amount of hair loss (legs and stomach). taking him in to the vet today, and worried he will have to be on the prescription diet. he’s insanely picky and i’m worried he won’t eat it as he is already a skinny guy!
side note, i was feeding him salmon and pea dry cat food from Natural Balance and fish variety wet food from Reveal. i was fine at first giving him that much fish stuff since it was the only thing he ate. now im worried thats what he was reacting too- so i bought Fancy Feast Chicken and Turkey Dry cat food. he loves it!
i dont want to cause any more issues by switching food around AGAIN but idk what to do?!
