Hi Everyone,

About a month ago, I switched my cat Bo over to Friskies pate from M/D. Up until this week, things had been going really well: drinking and peeing back to normal and lowered BG. I this past weekend that he had been losing weight, which is a good thing. Mr. Bo is obese. However, I am worried that he is losing weight too quickly. He barely eats a quarter can of Friskies when I give it to him. He acts really hungry, but doesn't eat much before he stops. He takes hours to consume the food that I give him. (I consulted my vet and she said to initially give him 2 cans a day.) He rarely eats all of this. Another one of my cats eats the food that he leaves behind. I have tried Fancy Feast classic, but he doesn't seem keen on that either. Are there some other wet foods that you would recommend? I am taking him in to the vet tomorrow to check his bloodwork, to ensure there is not an underlying condition. Thanks!
 
Let us know what you find out at the vet. My cat Venus (the non-diabetic but overweight one) also eats very little before stopping. Definitely a grazer, but that's not supported by her sister Serena (the diabetic), 'cause she'll gobble any leftovers right up! I've also tried a few different brands/varieties, and whenever I think I found the magic bullet, she's eating the same way again.
 
I am just wondering if maybe your kitty is having problems with stomach acid. That sure sounds like the symptoms. I would try giving a 1/4 of a 10 mg tablet of famotidine to see if that helps.
 
Thank you everyone for their suggestions. I had to put Bo to sleep on Saturday. Chest X-rays revealed that he had advanced cancer, with tumors all throughout his chest, with one wrapping around his trachea. I am heart broken to lose my sugar baby.
 
I'm so sorry to hear it was Bo's time to go to the bridge. It's so hard to lose one of our fur kids but even more so when you have to make that most difficult, yet kindest decision of all. You were Bo's guardian angel and now he is yours. Rest in peace Mr. Bo. cat_wings>o
 
I am very sad to hear about Bo. Your love for him shines out of your words here. It must have been such a shock. My heart goes out to you in your loss ...

For Bo ...

iu


For you ...
