Due to high blood glucose, our vet said that Musiaka has to be on a glucose-lowering veterinary cat food from now on, RC Diabetic in particular, otherwise he might develop diabetes in the future. But RC Diabetic kibble seems to be crap for a cat with decreased GI motility (hairballs 2-3 times a week on a shedding season). It has wheat high up in the ingredient list!
Can I just ignore this recommendation? Shouldn't his blood glucose go down naturally on a low carb food? I want to try a commercial raw diet instead and ordered Stella and Chewy's for a trial (there's a chance he won't eat it).
Also, any tips on how to make Musiaka eat it, in case he refuses? Last time I offered him raw, he sniffed it, smacked his lips and ran away - when I brought him to the bowl again, he looked offended as hell. Then I mixed it up with some Sheba's wet food and he still wouldn't even come near it. Raw sounds good for an ibd cat, but it what if a cat is finnicky. Has anyone had problems introducing Stella and Chewy's to their kibble loving cat?
