This is my last best hope.
One thing that caught my eye was snoring as a symptom of allergy. And my cat snores. I thought it was because he was fat but he has lost weight and still snores.
Also, they said the scratching was around the neck and face / ears, that is where my cat has been scractching.
I will be Seriously furious if this turns out to be an allergy and my vet never even brought it up.

I hope and pray that it is a food allergy. They really can make a cat extremely ill. Sometimes the same diet the cat has been eating for years suddenly causes a problem. I always wonder about suppliers, and many times cat food companies make changes to the food and don't tell customers.
I've owned cats for about 30 years and have learned that vets are not always on the ball with cats. Dogs are so different; their behaviors and illnesses are much more predictable. Not so with cats. There's a saying, "ECID" - every cat is different. They are mysterious little beings.
Do you know about chewy.com? If you order food from them it arrives in 2 days.
