Hi all
well a wonderful person from this forum sent me some young again zero carb and i am giving it to Tibbs. He is still licking up a small amount of the wet food but i don't think near enough to prevent DKA. is there some way to know how many calories he must eat to prevent dka? i am going to give him the next 2 days on wet food and young again zero carb and if his numbers are still high then i think i may have to increase to 1.75. any thoughts my friends?
thanks

The formula for calories to keep ideal weight on a cat which I'm assuming keeps away DKA is 15 kcal per pound of cat. Also DKA is a perfect storm of Not enough food + not enough insulin + infection.

Thanks xoxox
Tibbsey is still licking up a small amount of wet food and he absolutely loves the young again zero carb food. i am just giving him about 1/8 of a cup along with the wet food to get enough calories in him. his 5 p's are great. you can tell he feels very good. hope this does the trick for him!!!
 
Hey if he loves it and truly hates wet I've seen several cats go OTJ on the Young Again Zero Carbs dry.

that's good to know Mel. His numbers are already lower today from only half a day of zero carb food.
I am so hoping !
 
Go Tibbsy! I wuv dat stuff too! Wouldn't it be great if our moms would just let us dive in the bag and eat as much as we want? Paws crossed for you :smile:
