Desperate furmom w/ CKD Cat

Hello there, I'm so sorry to hear about your worries with your kitty dealing with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). It’s a challenging condition, but with the right care, your feline friend can still live comfortably.



CKD in cats can cause symptoms like excessive thirst, frequent urination, weight loss, and poor appetite. It essentially means that your cat's kidneys aren't functioning as they should, so waste can build up in their body.



At home, ensure your cat is staying hydrated since CKD often leads to dehydration. Always have fresh water available, and consider offering water in different places around your home or even try a pet fountain. Wet food is also a great choice because it increases fluid intake.



Monitor your cat closely. If you notice signs like vomiting, severe lethargy, not eating, or strange behavior, it's important to seek veterinary care promptly as these can indicate serious issues.



Let's work together to ensure your kitty gets the best care! I highly recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets here on Dial A Vet to get tailored advice for managing your cat's CKD and to answer any other questions or concerns you may have.
