ADVICE.

[claylady]

Good Morning,
I am a new member with my handsome Tux boy Jesse James.
My vet places Jesse James on Purina DM Dry food. He HATES it. He won't eat it. I had been giving Jesse and all the other fur kids BLUE BUFFALO WIlderness Weight Management. It's a high Protein and NO GRAINs formula.
I have been giving Jesse James Fancy Feast (canned varsities suggested). He has an appt this afternoon.I bought a small bag of the Blue Buffalo so the vet can compare the one she recommended and mine.
Jesse James is currently getting 2 units of injectable LANTUS 2x day.
ANy advice before the vet appt would be most appreciated.

Deb... Clay Lady.

Unfortunately, high protein does NOT equal low carb. Fruit, root vegtables, peas, and beans are all starchy and totally unnecessary for cats.

Once you're testing the glucose, you can safely switch the food.

Cat Info has an excellent food list you can print in the right hand side of the main page.

Since you have several special needs kitties, take a look at my signature link Secondary Monitoring Tools for a number of assessments you can use to check all of them - ex dehydration.
