Hello! First off this site and forum has been so instrumental in me successfully treating and testing my Sebastian since his diagnosis last year, so thank you so much! I tried searching posts for our current issue but couldn't find anything with our same situation. Please let me know if you know of this occurring with other diabetic kitties. Here is the background:
In Feb we started feeding Sebastian 3x/day since he wasn't gaining enough weight, was always hungry and his blood sugar numbers were fine with treatment. We are very regular with his feeding and insulin schedule. He has successfully gotten to a much better weight, I cannot feel his hip bones anymore and it didn't affect his BG numbers. Then in March we moved completely from Royal Canin Glycobalance wet to FF Classics pate and have tested to ensure his numbers were still good. We reduced him to 1.25 units and he has held steady since. We made this change due to the carb count in Royal Canin and the cost. If his issues are from the change though I will go back to Rx food. Lately he has pretty consistently been having hairballs around 2-4am almost nightly. I have a vet appt scheduled for tomorrow to run tests. He doesn't vomit any food, he has been eating/ drinking normally, he has been urinating normally, he has his normal energy and even gets hyper after meals and loves to play. So just wondering if this is something others have experienced? Thanks in advance!
