Reply #41: Thanks for mentioning the drawbacks of dry food

[jumptheshadow]

We had a major shock last month when one of our cats almost died from diabetes. He always had preferred dry food (Science Diet) exclusively. It turns out that his dry food diet was bad for him -- it had too many carbohydrates producing too much sugar in his bloodstream. The finicky guy has refused to eat any wet food, except for an occasional bit of baby food or tuna, and is now on a prescription dry food diet. It's not optimal, but his diabetes has reversed itself and he's no longer getting insulin.
