Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / November 2004WHEW! Looks like no diabetes
The blood tests showed normal. Going to check again in 3 weeks to see if still normal. Vet wants to put him on a low calorie diet anyway. So now the problem is the changing of his food, never easy. Going to use Walthams Royal Canine low calorie, or whatever it's called. Anyway just relieved about the diabetes. Thanks for all your input.  SignaturePaul O. Absolutely clueless when it comes to cats Learning more every day, but still clueless oplholik@hotmail.com Paul, That is great news. You must be so relieved! :-) Now just enjoy Dufus. BTW that's a great name. Is there a story behind it? Michele (N.C.) > Paul, > That is great news. You must be so relieved! :-) [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Michele > (N.C.) The wife just named him that because he acted like such a......well, Dufus when a little kitty. I just thought he was being a .... well, a cat. Yeah!

Anyway just relieved > about the diabetes. Thanks for all your input. If the 'canine' in "Walthams Royal Canine" is no mistake, you might want to give your choice of food some further consideration. Unlike dogs, cats are true ('obligate') carnivores, and they have an absolute dietary requirement for animal tissue in order to ensure adequate supplies of the amino acids that are essential for their good health. Cat foods are formulated to meet this requirement, whereas dog foods, as a rule, are not ... cats on a dog-food diet will inevitably fall in to poor health and eventually succumb to renal, hepatic, and cardio-pulmonary complications.

So now [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > http://www.peteducation.com/category_summary.cfm?cls=1&cat=1397 > http://www.sniksnak.com/cathealth/howto9.html It really is a cat food. Royal Kanin. The company started as a dog food company in Denmark or somewhere. However, Mars Company bought it a couple of years ago. I do not know if it is as high quality as it used to be, but it is considered a premium food. I think they even have wet food packets now. Which Paul should consider. > It really is a cat food.
