Can anyone tell me what low carb treats I can give my diabetic kitty ?

He just got nine teeth pulled out yesterday; therefore I don't know what type of treats to give him. The vet said he actually does not have many teeth left. I have not given him any treats since he was diagnosed on 4/25/11 and I feel bad because he's being such a good boy when I prick his ear. I think I need some type of soft treat, but needs to be save for feline diabetes.
 
Does he like tuna? Water packed human tuna would be okay for him. Just give him a few flakes at pokie time.

That is the only one I can think of right now, I'm sure others will have more ideas.

Well, I just posted on your other thread about giving him baby food chicken or turkey for his
recent dental, while his mouth heals.

You can freeze little dabs of that, un-haw a few each day and give as a treat on a small dish or the
tip of a spoon.
 
Karen has a great idea. I was thinking initially freeze-dried salmon or chicken, but that would be too hard on the mouth. The baby food should be perfect.

I suggest Gerber chicken & gravy, or turkey&gravy, go over real well with most cats and kittens. All they have is the meat and a little cornstarch -- no onion or garlic (dangerous for cats!)

As far as food for later on, I have Zollikins who is totally toothless due to stomatitis. She can eat canned food just fine, even Fancy Feast Chunky varieties. She also manages dry Evo perfectly well. I do have to shred chicken really finely for her though. And bits of sliced deli turkey? No problemo! :lol:

You can soak any freeze dried treat, evern freeze dried raw food, in water to rehydrate it and soften up the texture :smile: Let it soak for 5 minutes or so in warm water. Then give to your cat, the softened treat and the now flavored water.
 
I can't afford treats so I just get a bag of frozen chicken breasts from Trader Joe's. Just boil it or steam it and you're good to go. I tried drumsticks and he wouldn't have any of it.
 
Beechnut baby food: chicken in chicken broth, turkey in turkey broth, beef in beef broth have zero carbs. My cat loves these.

Gerbers with cornstarch has carbs.

Other things: Beechcomber Sardines packed in water. Smoked oysters. American cheese.
