It is certainly perplexing how so many vets and supposed experienced
caretakers will claim a ferret ( or any domestic carnivore) has an
allergy to CHICKEN - yet they never say anything about being allergic
to wheat, barley, corn, or soy - all grains used as common binders in
the majority of kibbles fed!

Doesn't it make a thinking person wonder WHY would a carnivore develop
an allergy to the practically only digestible ANIMAL proteins in those
grain based kibbles and NOT develop an allergy to the INdigestible
plant products? Plant products that are well known to cause allergic
reactions for omnivores!

Several ferrets re-homed to me had "vet diagnosed" "chicken allergies"
and needed "prescription" kibble and diet. Yet switched away from grain
based prescription kibble to grain free kibbles and then on to a raw
natural dietary program - not only did their "allergies" disappear -
they gained weight, had increased energy, deposits normalized, and
they grew new coats! And yes, the majority of their raw offerings are
poultry based! Hmmmm, makes one ponder doesn't it?

Pondering,
Kim
