Cats and food allergies

my cat had started throwing up and having diarrhea so I took her off dry food. I had been feeding her Purina that is soft in the middle and crunchy outside. She got better. I would feed her real chicken and she loves it. I introduced a different type into her diet and she did fine for a while. she eventually started getting sick again and I took her to the vet. He said pancreatitis. I now have her on just canned food and she has started scratching her ears until they bleed. She is now allergic to something in the canned. I do give her two different types of canned food so I guess I need to just go back to the kind I had been feeding her. Also I can't give her real chicken any more because it makes her sick. What can I feed her that she will do well on?

We had a similar problem with ours; some cat food (Whiskers) was making her sick and Felix she could have in small doses. We stopped those two and switched to dry food for breakfast and evening, and we bought her Applaws (natural food with low ash content) for her meal at night. It seems to have worked - might be worth either giving that a go or switching entirely to Applaws (or another natural food). Hope this helps x

Thank you so much. I will try the Applaws. She gets way too sick with dry. All the wet food I give her makes her itch
