Diabetic Remission Cat Not Eating

[Heidi Free]

Hello Everyone!
I have a 12 year old cat who is successfully in remission from Diabetes. We now monitor his Diabetes through food. He is only allowed to eat wet food, Wellness Brand Chicken and Herring formula. He has GI problems so he is prescribed Metrondazole .6 ml daily. We used to mix his medicine in his food. We no longer do this because he refuses to eat his food. Even without adding the medicine to his food he only will eat a little bit of food. He is looking skinnier. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to get him to eat that won’t bring his Diabetes back?

Thanks so much!
——Heidi

Is he feeling ok otherwise? Any dental problems?
Here are some ideas

Have you tried some other foods? Sometimes they seem to just get tired of a flavor.

I'd bring him for a checkup. Maybe he has pancratitis or a dental problem. What is his b glucose today?

I would dry another variety/brand of low-carb canned.
