? GNC Nourishcat Liquid

[dman777]

My senior kitty doesn't each much food anymore. Is it ok to give him GNC Ultra Mega Nourishcat with his diabetes?

Hi Darin,
I am by no means qualified to give you a professional answer but with the tools and information I have gathered from research and this forum, here are my results: The carb content is between 12.4% - 18.6%. I didn't find any "avoid" ingredients in the top 10 ingredients. Since you home test and have your own records, you could try it and see how it effects him. Good luck

Oh no....those carb counts are to high for my cat and his blood sugar. I do frisky feast wet food and they are only at 2%. Where did you see the carb count on the Nourishcat Liquid? I looked and was never able to find the carb count.

It's not listed. I used a carb calculator like this one: http://www.youngagainpetfood.com/tools/carbCalculator.php
However just to do another check, I did the math and it came up 28.6% dry matter carbs, so either way (even at the lowest) it seems rather high in carbs .

Darin, does your kitty act hungry, but then walk away from the food? If so she could be nauseous and anti nausea meds can help. If she's just not hungry, maybe ask the vet for an appetite stimulant. Also try a few other foods, some cats get bored eating the same thing everyday.
