several foods, wet and dry, but nothing seems to be what he wants.
His vet game him some appetite-stimulating pills which help, and a new
dry food (tuna-flavored) got him to eat a little bit earlier. *The vet
did check his teeth and gums, which she pronounced healthy, as are his
eyes and coat.

Has anyone else experienced this? *His regular food is Innova Evo,
which he ate the whole time he was diabetic. *(The other two cats also
seem a little tired of it, but eat it, and are not losing weight, so I
don't think the food is bad.)

Has your vet considered doing an X-ray of his mouth? Like with humans,
it's possible he has dental decay that will show up on an X-ray.

Have you tried slightly warming the (canned) food? How about
sprinkling something tasty on top of the food (such as a bit of tuna
juice, a couple of sardines, a capsule of salmon oil)? You are already
feeding an excellent brand of food--but have you tried another brand
to see if that might help? Nature's Variety and Wellness canned are
good choices.
