4/26 - Zokni - AMPS: 86, seems good on his current dose

[Zsofi & Zokni]

Hi,


Yesterday

It very well could be the small amount of crunchies that is spiking his BG. But it's not like he's spiking high-- he's still within normal cat BG. He's looking great!

I'd keep with this dose for a bit longer, and try to get him to eat his fuds without the dry crunchies. Does he like freeze-dried treats? Those might be a low-carb way to give him the texture he's craving.

Alright, today I'm not giving him any crunchies, to see how it is. He begs for food, but I wait a while to give it to him, and he eats it without any added flavor to it.
He appears to dislike reheated food (so much for my eco-choice of big, 3 days worth of food -can purchase).
How long does opened cat food last when it's out on the counter?
Freeze-dried snacks? I bought some but he doesn't give them any time of day...

My cats also won't eat freeze-dried snacks. Not even freeze-dried minnows!

I leave can food sitting on the counter. After 12 hours or so my cat won't eat it anymore. Are you heating the food in the microwave? My cat also doesn't like that.

One thing I will say - I am switching my cat from dry to canned. He's a very finicky cat, and it was a fight at times. I would put out canned food and he would just not eat. So I would give him a little dry food. But at some point he started to understand that he had to eat what I was putting out. Instead of licking up a little bit of canned food, he started eating it seriously.

So maybe your cat will learn to eat food that has been refrigerated. Have you tried offering it to him straight from the fridge? Sometimes my cat will eat it that way.

I feel for you trying to get your cat to eat what is good for him!
