Hi team.
Kevin has been OTJ and in remission for almost 2 years (Hooray!). He has been on 100% wet food. Mostly friskies pate's and the occasional raw patty (Hungry Hunter). Occasional test (4-6 months apart), always great numbers.
I had a vet offer to try a dry food. Prescribed Royal Canin Diabetic (5.4% Sugars, 44% protein, 24% dietary starch, 24% fats). It would also help with his teeth.
We tried a switch to see if a mix would work for him (~90% dry, 10% wet), he's not a picky eater. I have noticed he has started drinking a lot of water again... Although his numbers are still fine. It's been two weeks since the switch.
I was wondering after a diet switch, when his numbers might start being affected. Trying to figure out if the food is making him thirsty, or his pancreas is struggling to keep up, or if I'm being over-senstitive about his water consumption - since it was a sign when he was first diagnosed. Again, his numbers are still fine. Do we think the diet is fine, because we would have seen a spike in numbers if the diet wasn't fine - by now?
