(Picture me saying that in Stan from South Park's voice)
So I went shopping with my mom today, and we went on a quest to find Yuan's allergy-safe food. The little Petco near my apartment doesn't have it (they have the brand, but not the kind he is supposed to eat with only rabbit in it), so I thought the larger Petco would. Nope. When I looked on their website, it wasn't available there, either!
I always feel better about the world when this shelf in the cupboard is full of cat food
So we tried the mom and pop pet food store. They luckily did have some! Eight of the little cans. I took all they had. At Petco I had bought two of the rabbit+pork and two beef, in case I couldn't find any (and some turkey food for Maggie, she likes that), to hopefully tide us over without making him too sick; his known allergies are poultry and fish, but the vet wants him on one protein only, not rabbit+pork. I had already tried venison food and he didn't seem to be getting better on that, but rabbit was good, so I stuck with that. He doesn't like lamb, and maybe will eat beef once or twice before he starts turning his nose up at it, too.
It was there that I alerted the cashier that I had cleaned out all they had of it so she knew to order more, and she told me that they often have a hard time getting it in consistently. Even the pet store couldn't always find it! Oh, shit. I told her about having trouble finding it through Petco too. I wonder if they are having production issues. A shortage of rabbit meat? 馃槺
So I tried something else that was at the mom and pop store, that Yuan has never tried before, just getting one can to see how it goes.
Kangaroo meat! That's definitely a protein he hasn't had before (nor me)! If he likes it and does well on it, maybe it can be his backup protein if I can't find rabbit again.
What I need is to find a farmer that raises rabbits for meat, it seems.
Adventures in food allergies! I got you, fam. We're in the same boat, Yuan and I. 馃挌
