As some of you know, My 6 month old cat Buddy had Pancreatitis and went on Meds and also had to eat only Baby food Meats, and a suppliment called Nutri-Cal, because is was supposidly low fat diet to give the pancreas a time to recover. I was told that he only had to be on the baby food for 1 week, which it has been already.
I called the vet today to ask if I could put Buddy back on his Nutro and to bring him in for his recheck, but the vet isn't there until Tuesday. My poor baby is Starving.
I am giving him 2 jars of baby food at each 3x per day, and it isn't enough because it is mostly water, even when I give him a little extra. Each Jar is approx 2-4grams of fat depending on the flavor. And the fat content in the Nutri-Cal is 34%min.
Anyway, I will be taking him in for a recheck on Tuesday, but I can't take his crying for food anymore. The Vet Tech told me that I could go and pick up some low fat cat food from them, something called ID cat food, which is also 3oz cans at $1 per can and I don't know what it is. When I read the Nutro label it only has 7%min fat, but that Nutri Cal suppliment is 34%, which is suppimenting his diet since he is on the baby food.
The tech said the vet will probably let me put him back on his Nutro cat food on tuesday, but she wants me to get their food just in case. Isn't the Nuto food okay. It seems like it has less fat than the baby foods and Nutri-Cal combined. If anyone has any knowlege on this and advise it would be great. Buddy is starving and constantly crys for food, even when I give a little extra. I want to put him back on his food, I feel bad for him. He is doing fine other than that, but he does look a little on the thin side as well, and he looks like he lost weight. I don't want to wait until Tuesday to feed him properly. Every time I go near the Kitchen this past week he comes running and meowing, like is saying "please mommy can I have more". Its breaking my heart. I know some experts say that low fat, and reduced food for pancreatitis, but I even read an article saying that there is no strong evidence that this type of diet is right for cats, for dogs yes, but not cats, but this is the type of treatment that the vets give. Help!!!
By the way, he has finished his Meds as of today, and it has already been one week.
