Cat Kidney Disease

Cat kidney disease is much more common among older cats, but it can strike early on in a cat's life as well. Although there is no cure for kidney disease, there are treatment options that you may want to explore with your vet. If you have noticed that your cat seems thirsty all the time, and you catch him or her drinking from the toilet, from the bathtub, or from drinking glasses filled with water, something may be wrong. Likewise, if you notice that your cat has a loss of appetite or urination irregularities, kidney disease could be the culprit.

Cat kidney disease is either acute (brought on suddenly) or chronic (long term). If you can intervene early and get a vet diagnosis, you may be able to stop the problem in its tracks. However, if the kidney disease goes undetected, the condition can worsen and your cat will likely suffer from chronic cat kidney disease, which requires ongoing medical attention and/or home treatments. Your vet will have to run some tests to detect the presence of a kidney problem, and blood samples will determine the extent of the problem.

Depending on the outcome of the tests, you may be advised to treat your cat with multi-vitamins to strengthen his or her immune system, and certain drugs may be administered to relieve problems such as vomiting or infrequent urination. Intravenous fluids may also be given if necessary, as well as some antibiotics. Your vet may also recommend that you switch your cat's diet over to a low protein formula, which will help take some of the burden off of the kidneys.

Managing Cat Kidney Disease through a Natural Diet
The very best way to prevent your cat from succumbing to cat kidney disease in the first place is to feed him or her a healthy, natural diet that is lower in protein. Cat food that has higher concentrations of ash and magnesium can also be problematic for a cat with any type of urinary tract problems or kidney disease. For these reasons, many vets recommend Flint River Ranch Lite Cat Food formula, as it contains the lowest amount of protein, and it contains less ash and magnesium than most other brands of cat food. In addition, our cat food does not contain any fillers, meat by-products, or chemical preservatives that can cause other health problems in your pet. Look, if your cat has been diagnosed with kidney disease or you merely want to prevent it from happening at all, you owe it to yourself and your cat to buy our outstanding Flint River Ranch Lite Cat Food. We guarantee your cat will be thrilled with your choice!
