Hi All!
My Nine year old, over weight, asthmatic cat with urinary tract issues was diagnosed on Sunday with diabetes. He had been throwing up, every few minutes all day on Saturday. I ended up calling the vet at 11pm on Saturday. Initially, an xray revealed his colon was full. After two enimas and no change to his overall poor heath, the diagnosis was diabetes. I picked him up on Monday and brought him home with Purina DM wet cat food. He has eaten maybe three or four bites of food since then. I ordered the DM dry food, hoping this will appeal to him more. His regular diet has always been dry food, so I'm hoping this does the trick. In the meantime, what can I try to get him to eat SOMETHING? No insulin yet, we were trying to control via diet first. I'm not opposed to insulin, just trying to take it one step at a time.
Thank you, all, in advance for any insight and advice!
