Food intolerance
I suspect Nifty having an intolerance to eggs and possibly chicken.
Should I also avoid food containing turkey or duck or pheasant too ?
I am going to order reindeer instead of the rabbit & chicken that they are currently finishing.
The kibble I use also exists in salmon flavour but I should I be considering the lamb and wild boar ?
Thanks for your thoughts

Re: Food intolerance
An intolerance to chicken doesn't necessarily mean an intolerance to poultry in general. But the only way to find out is an elimination diet.
I would try lamb or fish to settle the stomach, and then introduce a poultry food to see if it reacts.

Re: Food intolerance
I would start with removing the chicken from her diet 1st & see if there's any change. My friends setter has ear issues & the vet told her to stop giving chicken, we think it's improving!

Re: Food intolerance
Oh great, hope this could be the answer to gut feeling I have ...
I alternate (one bag to the next) between rabbit & chicken and carp & trout.
Now I’m going to alternate between reindeer and salmon and see how it goes.
