Feline Hypoallergenic Diet
(note: this is identical to their canine hypoallergenic diet except for the potassium chloride, and the protein seems way too low for a cat. Personally, I'd increase the lamb to 1 lb and reduce the rice to 1/2 cup, which will change at least protein and carb levels.... heck, just check with your vet on ways to adjust the protein to get the results you need :)

• 1/4 lb. diced lamb
• 1 cup cooked white rice without salt
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoon di-calcium phosphate (health food stores or bone meal)
• 1/8 teaspoon potassium chloride (salt substitute products)

Trim the fat from lamb. Cook thoroughly (braise or roast) without seasoning. Stir in remaining ingredients and mix well.
Keep extra food covered in refrigerator.

Yields 2/3 lbs.

Feeding Guide
 

Cat Weight	Amount to Feed  (per Day)	Analysis

If the allergy is suspected to be food induced, maintain the patient on this diet and distilled (my note again: I'd use spring or bottled drinking water instead). Then expose the patient to foods one at a time, beginning with tap water, to discover offending materials. The aim of this provocative exposure is to determine foods the patient CAN eat rather than those the patient cannot eat.

A hypoallergenic Prescription Diet food, Canine (this comes right from the Hill's sheet) d/d is available in canned form. Check with your veterinarian.
