Health & WellbeingMy cat has diabetes. What food should I feed and how much daily?
I'm sorry that Garfield was diagnosed with diabetes. Here is a great article about feeding diabetic cats. http://www.vetstreet.com/our-pet-experts/feeding-the-diabetic-cat How much to feed is completely dependent on the diet you are feeding (specific brand, ingredients, calorie count, etc). Without that information it is hard for me to comment. What I will tell you though is that dry food is not recommended and the urinary tract diet is not recommended. He needs canned food only and one that is high in protein and low in carbs. Check this list and find ones that have the lowest carbs and try one of those. You need to find one he likes and that keeps him regulated. You may have to try a few before you find the right one. http://binkyspage.tripod.com/CanFoodNew.html Here are some feeding instructions from Vetsulin: http://www.vetsulin.com/vet/Cats_DosingFeeding.aspx Hope this helps. After this information if you have more questions please feel free to post again.
