New Problem

Hello all. I have not been on here for awhile. Like everyone, a very busy life. Couple of things I would like to share..My Callie is still on the insulin. I have a tester and have not learned how to test. I know, my bad!! She seems to be doing well. My Goobie, the one who literally slept on my head, has been missing for over a month. I am afraid a coyote got him. He would come home if he was able. Now my Sassy has had a major surgery (rectal prolapse). She had two previous prolapses and the vet stuck it back in and stitched her up. This time, not so lucky. Anyway, he has told me she needs a special diet because he thinks she has food allergies. He gave me dry Hills Feline Allergen z/d and wet can of w/d. I asked if my diabetic cat could eat these and he wasn't sure!! :shock: I have emailed the company and am going to call as well. Can you imagine trying to keep special diet cats in line? My other two babies are so confused and are just eating whatever I put in front of them. If anyone can help me out with what kind of food I should be feeding my surgical kitty, I would be most grateful. Please, no hate mail about the dry food. I know I shouldn't be feeding it to any of my babies. And in my defense, my diabetic baby gets BLUE. My pocketbook can't stand another sick cat though so please help cat_pet_icon

 

Please visit the photo gallery and check out my spoiled babies. They are gorgeous!! bcatrun_gif pc_work (that is my black cat Goobie).

 

Personally, I wouldn't be giving any dry food to my diabetic cat.

Regarding food allergies, Maui had food allergies and the culprit was something in the dry food. I never figured out what, only when I stopped serving it, her problems cleared up.

If your cat has allergies, you may want to try novel foods such as venison or duck. I know EVO 95% makes this in canned version. And it's low carb too. There are some others too. You may want to check the food list to see what other diabetic friendly options there are.

I wonder if the prolapse issue could be caused by dry food in any way. You may want to check out Dr. Lisa's site www.catinfo.org for additional ideas and even contact her for food guidance. Just a thought.
