I have zero experience with insulinoma but I have been dealing with Teddy not eating,
GI bleeding etc. I tried everything, Duck Soup, the vet's concoctions, my own
concoctions, baby food..you name it but he has been sooo picky and getting him to eat
anything is high priority right now. I now have a bazillion different kinds of foods that
I'm just going to donate to the shelter because he won't touch them.

We finally found that he would eat Science Diet kitten food and Science Diet/Nature's
Best (Ocean Fish flavor). I don't know if these foods would be appropriate or not in the
case of insulinoma. Re: the bleeding. In Teddy's case, the vet started giving him
vitamin K. Again, I'm not a vet so I'm not sure if it would be appropriate but ask your
vet anyway.
