We bought the larger 16oz cans of cat food yesterday. It seems that they have enough food to graze all day and night. Maybe this is not what I want? However, it makes it similar to how they ate their dry food. We will have to see. I have been expecting for them to come to me in the morning starving but that has not happened yet. I don't want them to ever be that hungry.
However, I started calculating and if I give them one large can in the morning and one large can at dinner that is a total of 32oz for the whole day. When I divide that up equally that makes 8oz's per kitty. I know that they did not eat more than a cup to cup and 1/2 of dry food every day between the four of them.
So.....I guess I can cut down on how much I am giving them but I am still going to play it by ear.
In the house we have one pet water fountain and two other regular water bowls. Webber and one other cat always drink out of the fountain. I have not had to fill it for the last two days. This is good news, either Webber is not consuming as much water, or he is getting all he needs from the wet food.
The other two bowls have not been empty in the morning either. The kitchen bowl was always empty in the mornings, but not for the last two days. I guess they are all getting more water. This is still good news. Webber, who has always suffered from constipation is now having regular BM's since switching to wet food. This is te best thing that has come out of this whole situation. Poor baby would go days without a movement and when he did try, he would strain and strain.
I am going to see if I can get a BG level today that is not around the time he was eating. If not I will try to get a level tomorrow morning before I feed them. Last night his BG level was 273, but that was about 2 hours after eating.
Til tomorrow
Present: This blog will be a combination of feline health posts, pictures etc. The Past: This is my blog of Webber's journey with feline diabetes. We hope that this journey for my sugarbaby will not last long. We hope that with diet and a short bout of strict insulin injections he will conquer it all!
