I just read your article on pumpkin. Thank you, it was very informative. I have one cat that I am giving it to currently as a result of a pelvis fracture. Now he doesn't have to strain so much. It is working very well for him.
My question pertains to my other cat who is currently in remission from diabetes. She does throw a hairball 2 or 3 times a month, sometimes more. If I were to give her a bit of pumpkin, what would be the impact on her status of being in remission from FD? She is fed a raw diet.
I'm not sure what you mean by remission... you mean she is no longer a diabetic? Pumpkin will not affect her blood sugar either way unless you give her huge quanities of the sweetened variety.
Hi - Well, by remission, I mean she no longer has diabetes; however, what I have been told and have read is a cat can become diabetic again; that is why is used the word remission. Wrong use of the word?
Thanks for your response. I have enjoyed reading your responses in the various forums.
once a diabetic, always a diabetic.. your cat is just not clinically one for now. Keep the weight off and the high meat diet up and perhaps it will not become clinical again
