Hello there! I'm sorry to hear about your cat's recent diagnosis. Pre-chronic kidney disease (pre-CKD) can certainly be concerning, but you're doing the right thing by seeking more information.
While pre-CKD indicates early signs of kidney function changes, it's possible that other factors could be influencing the test results. Things like dehydration, urinary tract infections, or even recent stress can sometimes skew lab results in cats. It's important to consider these possibilities alongside any physical symptoms your cat might be showing.
At this stage, home care can help support your cat's kidney health. Ensuring she has constant access to fresh water can encourage her to stay well-hydrated. You might also consider offering wet food if she's primarily eating dry kibble, as it contains more moisture.
Keep an eye on symptoms like changes in drinking or urination habits, loss of appetite, weight loss, or vomiting. These could suggest more serious kidney issues and would warrant closer medical attention.
To better understand your cat’s condition and discuss tailored care plans, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet. They can provide detailed guidance and help ensure your furry friend stays healthy and happy.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
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
