? Are Fancy Feast Naturals as low in carbs as conventional Fancy Feast?

[Daddy Jack's Mommy (GA)]

Jack has been sick for the last week, and he's not eating well. We've seen a vet, two times, and it appears as though he has some kind of infection going on and problems, as usual, with his pancreatic enzymes. He lost a pound and a half within a week and a half. He is not as sick today as he was on Saturday, and as of last night he's looking even better. But he's still not eating normally. I've discovered that he will gobble down an entire can of Fancy Feast. I would prefer to buy him the natural Fancy Feast, but I don't know if they're as low in carbs as the other Fancy Feast. Inquiring minds want to know...

Fancy Feast Natural are 0 carbs. Not the best with a cat that is losing weight.

But right now, I'm also worried about his blood glucose as he's in remission and I don't want to put him out of remission during this. So for now, it may be Fancy Feast Naturals just to get him to eat. Thanks for the quick response!

You might try Fancy Feast Kitten.....while you do want to limit the carbs due to the diabetes, you want to add calories to add weight and kitten foods are usually higher in calories

I think I'm going to stick with plain old regular Fancy Feast Pate, because I know he loves them and I'm just trying to get him to eat for now. When he's well again, he can go back to raw food that, for some reason, he's not eating right now.

Hope Jack feels better soon.

Thank you. He's definitely better than he was, but he's not himself. It breaks my heart when he gets sick like this, and he does this periodically. I'm so happy that he's eating Fancy Feast! It also gives me the chance to add a lot of additional water to it.
