I have been trying to keep my cat's diet free of corn and wheat gluten as much as possible. They have been on Wellness Indoor Core - A wet and dry mix.
Recently my cat Whisper has been diagnosed with L.U.D (Lower Urinary Tract Disease) and gum disease. He may also be diabetic (they're running tests). He lost a considerable amount of weight (10.8lb to 8.40lb ) and is rated a 2 in body condition by Banfield. I am trying to get his weight up and was prescribed Hills Prescription Diet W/D to help him eat. The smaller kibble size seems to be helping and he ate a few handfuls today along with his Clavamox.
My question is... Is there an alternative to Hills w/d that doesn't have corn gluten in it? I know it's really bad for him and I really don't want him on it any longer than he has to be, but if he has diabetes, then he will have to be on a diabetic food. Can anyone help me find an alternative? He seems to prefer dry food.
