looking for diabates help
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, AmberBarbara Down here in Austin TX |

If you live in the U.S., you can find a state by state listing for holistic vets at www.altvetmed.com A wonderful book on herbs is "Herbs for Pets" by Mary Wulf-Tilford. The book is not only beautiful but extremely well researched: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...=1057263866/sr =1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-7620549-9469467?v=glance&s=books Lauren ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecat.com/articles/claws.htm |
