Our cat Thumbs has diabetes. We are picking him up at vet today. The vet said we have to give him insulin shots everyday. Somebody told my wife they had a cat with diabetes and just changed the cats food. Anybody have a similar situation? Thanks.
We feed wet 3 times a day and dry is always avaiable if they want it. I am heading to the vet to get him now. I will PM optiken when I get back. Thanks.
Hi
Realize diabetes is not a death sentence, no life span needs to be lost and your cat can live a long happty life. I have sent you a private message as there is just too much to go ove here
I want to thank Sharky for alerting me about this post
I'd discontinue all dry foods. Look for a high protien, low carb and fiber diet. My friend's diabetic cats doesn't even get high-carb treats (check out http://www.felinediabetes.com/low-carb-cat-treats.htm if you are interested. The rest of the site is helpful, too.) If you are seriously on a budget, wheat-gluten free Fancy Feast can be a good option, though not preferable.
