Hi Ya'll,

Not an emergency --

We just found out that one of our cats is diabetic. He was pretty
sick and I took him to the Vet I use to work for, so we have good
medical support. Dr. Whitworth has told me W/D Science diet and
Science Diet canned kitten growth formulae are good enough for us to
try to control Nercamel's diabetes.

What I need to know is are there other foods that are good for
controling cat diabetes as well? This is a 12 year old, castrated
male who is a rather strange eater. He does not especially like the
prescription foods, wants adult sci diet dry or canned tuna and tends
to eat until he throws up.

I am also wondering if there are herbals that might help, but with
those I will need some good references. I use herbals myself but also
know how dangerous it can be not to check out the science first when
using herbals with chronic conditions.

Thanks in advance,
