Cat my dad? was just diagnosed with diabetes. . The vet gave him ...
I don’t live with him, but my dad always calls me when he’s worried about his animals. . And he has had this cat for quite some time. Its his baby. It is a BIG cat.
He had been acting a bit funny the past month, so my dad finally took him into the vet. They kept him over night, ran some tests, and it came back showing that he has diabetes.
The vet said they would try a diet first. He said to try Purina DM Diatetic Management.
My diabetic cat is on Science Diet D/M. . . . . . for diabetes and weight management. . . . . . . AND insulin injections every 12 hours. He’s been on this since August 8, 2006, has gained back the weight he’d lost and is doing fine. He’s frisky with the other cats, and he had his 16 th birthday this spring.
Hope your Dad’s cat get along well on the “diabetes food”, but, since he showed an allergic reaction to Purina, you may want to ask the vet about Science Diet instead.
Some diabetic cats do very well, with just changing their diet. . . . . . unfortunately, mine needs the insulin, too.
Hope this helps. . . . . . . . Good luck to you, your dad, AND his BELOVED CAT. . . . . . .
Unlike the other Purina foods, the Diabetic Management food is very good. So is the Royal Canin Diabetic Management food so if the cat shows an allergy to one, there is this other one to try as well. Our cat, who had food allergies, did have a little problem with both and we switched him to the Royal Canin Siamese 38, which he was able to tolerate fine.
The thing with cat diabetic food is that it NEEDS to be high protein and low in carbs and fat. The RC Siamese is 38% protein and a little high in fat, but other wise is close to the diabetic management foods.
Canned foods are actually better. Someone has had most of the cat foods on the market tested for levels and put the charts up online. It’s under Janet and Binky’s Lists, go here–there’s two charts for canned and one for dry foods, you can compare side by side. The site is excellent.
