Hi   I have not been on this board for years and hope you are and see my message. I am a feline diabetes expert although not a vet.   You cannot properly treat diabetes while feeding dry food anymore then you could put out a fire with a mixture of water and gasoline. If your cat did not take...

Will you sign a petition to stop? Petition is in favor of a law that addresses animal "gassing", the selling of shelter animals to laboratories, and the use of intracardiac euthanasia on conscious animals. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/Support…

Hi Realize diabetes is not a death sentence, no life span needs to be lost and your cat can live a long happty life. I have sent you a private message as there is just too much to go ove here I want to thank Sharky for alerting me about this post Canned foods under 10% carbs is what you...

As has been said, cats do not chew, they tear. Their jaws cannot move sideways only up and down. My question is, if your cat is eating wet, why would you want to feed dry food? Wet is much better for their health and there is no reason to feed dry foods http://www.catinfo.org/...

You are doing a great job. I just want to point pout to people that this is not a 'diet' This isn't about limiting fpood either This is feeding proper food for the species which wshen done will help cats get to their ideal weight Watch your cat's coat get softer too! keep up the good work

I haven't but know peopel that have had it done and their cats are fine Very high success rate best option and in the long run, the cheapest Also it is a one time treatment. When it's done, the problem should be solved Best of luck

Just my opinion If it's a matter of your cat's health, you shouldn't feed any of that stuff. quality canned food will do the trick for you whole cat's health much better then a carb loaded dehydrating dry food http://www.catinfo.org/#Common_Felin..._Ties_to_Diet_ http://www.catinfo.org/

Hi Sharky made a good point about seeing results with healthy animals versus sick ones. I don't believe there are studies nor will there be in our life time because who will pay to step on their own foot? Is a pet food company going to finance a study that may show their highest grossing...

You are not compromising anything when feeding just wet. Try a probiotic like acidoupholous mixed in with the food, That should take care of the problem

There's a difference between the question and the results. As has been pointed out, premium food doesn't necessaily translate to longer life and crappola food doesn't mean early death. The question though was if there is proof that better food or premium food makes a diffeence and the proof is...

Glad you posted as I thought they usually came in 250mg pills I would start at 1/2 pill 2x a day and take it from there. If you want though you can give 1 pill 2x a day too. No harm can come

What I have used for my own cats for a problem like this is l-lysene. I give 1 pill 2x a day Available at walgreens or health food stores

Hi To me, the simple and best solution is to go with the radio iodine treatment. It is (imo) what should be done for all hyper-t cats. It is expensive yet cheaper in the long run then pilling and constantly running to the vets for blood tests. It is a 1 time only treatment and has a very high...

Yourdiabetic cat is not the best site for diabetes, has a very aggressive unpublished protocol and can be downright dangerous. Starting with an unproven if not disproven premise that a cat 'cannot' hypo if low carb food is fed has caused the death of a few there Dissenting opinions are not...

Hi Bg's fluctuate all the time. caninsulin is known for not having enough duration to last 12 hours for many cats. I would like to see 2 weeks worth of numbers to know what is going on. What are you feeding now??? There is no reason to bring your cat to the vets. The tests there would be...

With the right food, it certainly can be controlled \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t You need to either switch to canned foods with no grains or as little as possible or a raw diet where there are no grains at all. What you also want to do is cut down on the fats A human grade quality canned...

I may get a lot of flack for this but I do not know that indoor cats live longer then indoor/outdoor cats, I know they live longer then strictly outdoor cats. Indoor/outdoor cats are less likely to sleep all the time and also less likely to be obese. Cats need stimulation. In any event, I allow...

Thank you for asking. First off I agree about the grains and potatoes but things can still work if the carbs are kept low. Some cats are more sensitive to grains and such and their blood glucose can spike much higher then other cats would on the same food. As far as charts, i do not have any...

No they are not. Both are over 10% carbs. Even innova evo dry and wellness core dry are lower in carbs Even if they were, dry food spikes the blood glucose over comprable carbed canned foods. I have seen it again and again

Hi You do not need or want to feed the dm or md the vet gave you. Low carb canned foods is what is best for your cat (no gravy) If you can afford it, grain free canned would be the best of the lot. If your cat doesn't eat, you should feed anything it wants so complications like ketones don't...
