My cat is about 14-15 human years old. He is showing signs of old age as well as signs of kidney failure that I know is very common in old ages. I have rung the vet and explained all of his symptoms to them, they include; extreme weight loss, bad smell, hair loss, crunching when eating wet food and dehydration(he is always thirsty). They have told us that these are all symptoms leading to kidney failure and that there is nothing that they can do for him except prescribe medication that may give him a little longer than he has if it works.
I love my boy to death and it breaks my heart that he is so unwell and I cannot do anything about it.
My question is- does he really have Kidney failure? Or could there be something else wrong with him such as cancer or a treatable illness?? He has been wormed and flead so neither of them is the issue.
Any help would be much appreciated as I would do anything for him to get better.
I have heard of cats that live to 20 that is why I am questioning whether or not there could be another issue.
Thank you in advance!
