HI, my 14yr old kitty has just been diagnsed with diabetes. But I dont quite know how to go about feeding her. Teh vet gave me some special food but he told me to just alternate it with her normal diet. IE: Normal food, am, speacial food lunch, normal food pm.
Also, he said to feed her 1/3 of a packet of food before her injection, and then wait 7 hours before I feed her again. Because I ought to give the injkection at the same time each day Im havign to give it at 7am which means Tiff isnt really getting any food until 2pm.
Also, I dont know wether I should leave the food out and let ehr eat when she is hungry which she has done her entire life...or should I stick to specific feeding times? And removed all food when she is done? I also own another cat, who would find this hard to get used to as they are both used to just eating when they are hungry.
Ive read confilcting information on the ent and Im getting really confused. Aos, is it ok to let her "Snack" on high protein treats - like a bit of beef or fish after her insulin when she is hungry due to the 7hr wait?
HELP!!!
