Hi there! I completely understand why you'd want a second opinion on your cat's kidney X-rays—getting clarity on health issues is so important. When looking at kidney X-rays, veterinarians generally assess for any signs of abnormalities such as changes in size, shape, or the presence of any stones or masses.
If the X-rays reveal enlarged kidneys, it might indicate issues like an obstruction or infection, whereas smaller kidneys can suggest chronic kidney disease, which is common in older cats. If there are visible stones, they might be causing discomfort or blockages.
In the meantime, make sure your cat has plenty of fresh water and consider a diet that's easy on the kidneys. Watch out for symptoms like increased thirst, frequent urination, vomiting, weight loss, or a decrease in appetite, as these signs could indicate a more serious problem.
If your cat shows any of these symptoms, or if you notice any sudden changes in behavior or health, it would be wise to seek veterinary care promptly.
For a more in-depth evaluation of the X-rays and to discuss what steps to take next, I'd recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet. They can provide more tailored advice based on a full look at your cat's history and current health.

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
