Food help

[DreMeister]

Snickers says hi all. So she has appeared to be doing good on Lantus 2wice a day. We have been feeding her low carb pate food, and I think she's getting tired of it as she barely touches it anymore. We have to give her turkey before we inject her just to get something in her. She can't live on just turkey meat. I am looking for some ideas on different alternative foods to try so we can keep her eating. She does eventually pick around on her food but I'm afraid of giving her insulin without much in her stomach. My wife is worried cuz kitty has thrown up a couple times in as many days. Any help appreciated. TIA. Andre & the Snick-ster.

Pinnacle is a good quality low carb as well as natures variety pride.
Lots really just depends on your kitty.

The fancy feast flaked is also under 10% carbs but may have grains.

Thanx for the info. I am wondering though what's bad about grains?

It's only bad if they have a allergy to them.
My kitty does fine but others with IBD have issues.
