He knows what&#8217;s coming next. He no longer gives me a lot of trouble getting into it, luckily. He whines. Poor kitty. <\/p>\n<p>Ambush lost over a pound since his last visit. The once 18-pound marshmellow is now an almost 12 pound kitty. Since he has been diagnosed with diabetes, he has lost a full third of his body weight. He used to weigh three times what Stella weighs; now he is only twice her weight. <\/p>\n<p>His blood glucose levels were taken again &#8212; they were over 400. The urinalysis showed no ketones (sp?) in his urine, which is a Good Thing. The weight loss is not, though. <\/p>\n<p>His does has been upped to three units twice per day instead of two. I will also be monitoring his progress in my day planner. It&#8217;s pretty easy to tell when he is on a good dose: a 14-pound jug of litter lasts three weeks. The vet gave me some packets to use in the litter box after a week. The packet contents will show if the urine has high sugar levels. I&#8217;ll report back what I find to the vet. <\/p>\n<p>We also reviewed the cat food that the kitties have been on: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.californianaturalpet.com\/products\/default.asp?id=72\">California Naturals<\/a>. It&#8217;s excellent cat food. While the bag label doesn&#8217;t say it, the web site for the brand says that the carbohydrate level is about 30+%. Diabetic cats are supposed to be on low carb food&#8230; so I have to resume searching for a new food. It&#8217;s just as well any way &#8212; Stella has decided that she doesn&#8217;t like the dry food any more any way.  <\/p>\n<p>So the search begins again for a different cat food that meets two opposing criteria: low protein and low carbohydrate content. The resources I used last time are: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.felinediabetes.com\/faq.htm\">Feline Diabetes web site<\/a> is a great resource for learning more about the latest treatments and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.felinediabetes.com\/diabetic-cat-diets.htm\">feeding suggestions<\/a>. <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocities.com\/jmpeerson\">Janet and Binky&#8217;s Food Charts<\/a> for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocities.com\/jmpeerson\/dryfood.html\">dry food<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocities.com\/jmpeerson\/canfood.html\">canned food<\/a> are a great resource.   <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.catnutrition.org\/index.php\">Cat Nutrition<\/a> web site is focused on one thing: cat nutrition. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The vet suggested starting the kitties on a mostly canned diet as well. The kitties have always liked the Wellness brand wet food. The vet gave me a sample can of the Purina diabetic prescription wet food. I have never sen the cats go so crazy over wet food! Normally Stella prefers that her wet food be warm (she turns her nose up if the canned food isn&#8217;t fresh). She ate as much of this stuff as I gave her and then asked for more. (A very Good Thing since she has been losing weight and not eating the dry food.)<\/p>\n<p>After reading through the sites listed above, I may try <a href=\"http:\/\/www.precisepet.com\/PPlusFHB.asp\">Precise Plus Feline Hairball formula<\/a>. Hairball remedy can&#8217;t hurt. The carbs are at 22% and the protein is at 30%. I&#8217;ll just have to see if anyone around here carries it.<\/p>\n<p>Another option is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.canidae.com\/cats\/platinum\/dry.html\">Felidae cat food<\/a>. According to Janet and Binky&#8217;s list, Felidae has 23% carbs and 31% protein. <\/p>\n<p>The vet also recommended going to a local pet store, Phydeaux, and seeing what they carry. My other good friend has also recommended visiting the store too. I might call her and see if she would like to do a road trip this weekend. <\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ambush does not like his cat carrier: the second he hears it rattling around he hides.
