My cat was just diagnosed with diabetes. She started 0.50 units of Lantus 2x/day on Saturday. She hasn't been eating very well and it has been a severe struggle to get enough calories in her. She does seem to eat PureBites and boiled chicken pretty well but there are not enough calories or nutrients in those, so I just ordered some Young Again Mature Zero food for her. Even before this diagnosis I've been keeping her food low carb for 5 years and in the past year because of kidney issues I try to keep the phosphorus low too. Young Again seems to hit both of those although it's dry food which I know is a no no. But,I'm hoping that if I can get some of her wet food in her and then supplement with the dry for some extra calories it might work?
Thoughts?
