Feline Diabetes
Here is a wonderful website, although it has no recipes to speak of. It is a great place for information, and to share your own story. There is a frequently asked question page, two photo pages (one is a tribute to those who wait at the Rainbow Bridge), and even a cat diary.
I have to say I think the Diary of a Diabetic Cat is my favorite spot on this site. It gives you a good idea of what a diabetic cat goes through, as well as providing some information. It is very humorous is spots, as well a poignant in others.
Cat and Mouse-Click
Here’s another good site. I think the best thing about this site is its email/vet registry. If you have a diabetic pet, this is a great way to get in touch with others in your area going through the same thing. You can get in touch with these people to compare notes on your vets, find a good pet sitter who understands your pets needs and even combine medicine orders to share postage costs.
Elsewhere on this site, you can also view medication histories of other cats and compare them to yours. Maybe there is a reaction in your cat to a certain medication and someone else has dealt with that problem before. Or, maybe you just need someone to talk to about your situation that will understand what you are going through. You can also download your own cat’s medical history for others to view. No recipes on this one either.
Long Beach Animal Hospital
This is a very informative site put up by an animal hospital in California. This section on Feline diabetes explains the disease in detail, as well as treatments, monitoring and long term care of your diabetic cat. Warning for those with a weak stomach: There is a picture here of a feline pancreas and section of small intestine. The picture isn’t too graphic, however. (Still, no recipes.)
Since I cannot seem to find any recipes for diabetic cat treats, I will pass along some feeding advice I have found on these sites. The main piece of advice to remember of course is to see your vet. Don’t start a new feeding regimen with your cat without your vet’s approval first.
