I have a question about my dog and cat. ( two separate questions )
1. We have a male (not neutered) aussietese (toy aussie and Maltese mix). He weighs 9 pounds and is 2 years old and on a raw diet. He is trained to go to the bathroom on a pad inside but also gets walks 2-3 times a day. He was always good with going on the pad but the last couple of months he started marking all over the house and is getting out of control. We took him to the local vet to check his urine and he has no signs of a bladder infection or anything. We also have tried getting up very early to walk him during sunrise but he still ends up marking in the house. I am wondering if you have any advice on this situation/ behavioral change. We can’t think of anything that has changed that made him start acting this way and we feel that we might have to start putting him in the crate when we are not home. Please let me know if there is anything else we can try to stop this behavior.
2. My second question is about our cat who is diabetic. He is a male and is 8 years old. He has been diabetic for a few years now and for some reason we can’t get his glucose levels to a healthy level, it constantly fluctuates.
His Vet Has him on Diabetic Management PURINA PRO PLAN canned food and he receives 5 units of prozinc insulin at 6am with his breakfast and 5 units at night 6pm with his dinner (10units a day) .
I know from the holistic actions website that switching to a raw diet is healthy for a diabetic cat or cats in general. But I am wondering if it is totally safe to switch to raw in this situation? is there specific diabetic raw food for them or is all raw cat food the same in terms of vitamins/minerals for diabetic cats. I’m not sure if there is an article on the holistic actions website that goes more into detail about healing a cat with diabetes, or if we should be working more closely with a specialist.
Thank you for your help!
