Is it possible to develop a food allergy after years of being on the same food?
After reading a fellow COL's post earlier and having had Maddie to the Vets yesterday because of an ear infection, I have convinced myself that Maddie has a food allergy.
Although quite subtle I think it may have started about 6 months ago, she has always had slightly weepy eyes but thinking back she has been a bit twitchy, nibbling her back legs and scratching her ears more than usual. And now with having an infection in both ears (its her first ever ear infection) I can't help but think it could be related to her diet.
She eats 1/3 of pack of nature diet (different flavours) morning/evening with a bit of Woofie's kibble. Woofie's kibble did change earlier in the year when his PAH brand changed, I tried him on the new version for a while but a couple of months ago changed him onto Wainwrights.
I am thinking of stopping the kibble and just giving her 1/2 pack of nature diet for each meal of the same flavour and see if this makes any difference - does that sound ok? What treats could I give her that would be ok?
I would appreciate any advice
Thanks
