Hi, Dr. Kris. Thanks so much for doing this.
I lost my Sweet Thing over 20 years ago to kidney disease. Naturally, I want to prevent it in Jasmine, who is now 3 years old. She's a domestic longhair with, apparently, a lot of Maine Coon Cat in her recent gene pool.
I know that absolute prevention may or may not be possible, but the other thing is catching it early, as you've already pointed out. Is there anything I should be asking my vet to check for at Jasmine's annual wellness exams?
