my cats food intolerance

Question
My cat, who I found with two others from the same litter, has been diagnosed with a severe food allergy.  He was dying when I found him and had a severe intestinal infection of which he was treated for.  He became sick again after two weeks completing the antibiotics he was on.  My vet, who had seen this once before, suggested that he had a food allergy and that I feed him boiled pork and Royal Canin green pea and rabbit food.  That seemed to work for a while and still does, but he has terrible diarrhea sometimes and just doesn't gain any weight.  He is approximately 8 months old and weighs only 3.1 lbs.  His brother is very healthy and weighs 9.2 lbs.  When I got them neutered about 6 weeks ago they received a clean bill of health other than they seemed to think that my cat with the food allergy may have some mental disabilities resulting from his severe illness at such a young age - when I found him.  I was wondering if you had heard of anything like this and if you had any other suggestions for food to help my little guy get ahead of the game and be a bit more normal in his intestinal functions.

Answer
Hi Amy - We can try to help your little one - I bet there is some Yeast in his intestinal system.  Yes, your vet is correct about the foods....keep it up.  Good program for his system.
How about we add 3 things to his diet:

1.  Canned pure ( no added sugar) pumpkin - just 1 teaspoon per day - YUM yum good calories and FIBER..... I bet he will like it.
2.  Add some Salmon oil to his food just 1/2 of a TEASPOON per day.
Good for his belly and system
3.  NuVET Feline Formula : will help to RE-build his immune system and helps the digestive system, too.
Here is the NuVET Feline Formula link - give just 1/2 a dosage per day:
it will cost you .30 cents per day for 1/2 dosage of this powder.
EXCELLENT and low cost/ Helps to keep the VET away.
to order:
Get a 30 count every 60 days ....
( you only need 1/2 dosages)

 If you go on autoship you get 15% OFF

Here is the ordering link for NuVET - I would like to see you get a 30 count and go on auto ship -  If you go onto autoship you will get 15% off each order.

Make sure you ask for the Feline Formula..

So, some fiber, oil and NuVET - I sure hope this helps - we can also add a probiotic if you would like:  Get the 1 billion of Acidophalus and break in 1/2 - give you baby just 1/2 per day for 2 weeks.
This is good to help get rid of yeast.
The NUVET Feline powder will also help to get rid of or Control the excess yeast.


Good Luck
