Hi everyone! Just a quick update for those who have followed the updates on our Cooper kitty. He is doing a lot better and we have been home testing his BG for over one week now and his numbers have been consistently normal enough that he has needed no insulin!!! He is also showing signs of improving a lot each day and is responding well to the medicine we have him on for his elevated biliruben count. He is starting to be more interested in food but I am still syringe feeding him the high protein, low carb fancy feast canned food to get him his needed protein each day. I have offered him EVERYTHING I can think of to whet his appetite and he still only will eat a little bit of dry food on his own. I remember seeing something on this site somewhere before regarding a dry food that is a bit better for cats who just refuse to eat the canned foods. I think this might be the case with Cooper since unfortunately all he ever knew prior to this was dry food. Any suggestions on a decent dry food would be so helpful! Thanks! :-D
 
While my entire tribe is on canned so I can't attest to this I do believe that some folks use Innova EVO Cat & Kitten at 7% carbs, Wellness Core at 11% carbs and there is a new product out called Young Again Zero Carbs for dry foods in the difficult to switch. Hopefully though once he starts eating again on his own you will be able to convince him that the canned stuff is much tasier than the dry food.

Hello.
IF I were going to feed dry food.... it would be the Young Again Zero Carb. I have a friend who has a cat that flat out refuses any wet food. She had been feeding Evo
dry. When she switched to Young Again Zero Carb dry, her cat went into remission within a month of switching....

It seems expensive but they don't eat as much of it since it's zero carb so one bag will last a long time. And if your cat has a chance at remission with a dry food, this is
the only one that I've seen that can do it.

Make sure you pick the zero carb version. Good luck.
 
Have you tried putting FortiFlora on the canned food? I have some extra and am more than happy to send a few packets your way, if you'd like to try it.
