I completely understand why you're worried about your cat's hydronephrosis. It’s a condition where the kidney becomes swollen due to a buildup of urine, often caused by an obstruction or infection. Cats with this condition might display symptoms like reduced appetite, vomiting, lethargy, or changes in urination habits.
Some common causes include urinary tract obstructions, kidney stones, or infections. It's good that you're gathering information and monitoring lab results, as this can provide valuable insights into the underlying cause.
At home, ensure your cat has plenty of fresh water to stay hydrated, which can help support kidney function. Keep an eye on their litter box for any changes in urination patterns, as decreased or increased urination can be significant. Offering a quiet and comfortable space for your cat to rest can also be beneficial during this time.
Watch for signs that may indicate a more serious issue, such as complete inability to urinate, severe pain, or extreme lethargy. These symptoms warrant immediate veterinary attention, as they can progress quickly.
Consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet to discuss your cat’s condition in more detail, review lab results or images, and explore tailored treatment options.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
