This is my first post and I'm wishing to talk to Dr. Tobin

about Gus my 17 and a half year old diabetic kitty

(diabetic since age 8 and a half) - diagnosed with early

kidney failure about a week ago although enzymes were

slightly high last year as well. I am feeding Hills canned

kidney failure - chicken food now. Gus has lost most of

his teeth although he still eats treats on occasion and

may try to eat the other cats food usually Wellness or

Merrick for them and what I fed Gus up until last week.

He has been eating almost all canned foods for over a year

and his sugar has been pretty stable for the last 6 months.

He has recurring infections in his mouth and teeth that

are only treated with antibiotics because he is too

frail I believe to have a dental cleaning. He seems to

be doing better on this food some but is now finicky again

and wanting something else. A lot of yowling.

Can give more information if needed. Would like some

information on holistic treatment - he's not so good

with pills but can try....



Actually would like to talk to Dr. Tobin and am not

sure I'm in the right place for that but also anyone

who has information on his illness - Gus gets insulin

2 times a day. Thanks Laurie S.
