My cat William started having litter box issues where he would urinate outside of the litter boxes not long after we introduced two new kittens into the household. (Figured it was territorial) I took him to the vet and they diagnosed him with cystitis. We made a bunch of changes, including diet, and introduced gabapentin, it seemed to get a little better. Unfortunately before long, it got worse again. Over the course of the next few months I took him in more than once for lab work, which included testing his urine. Eventually they suggested clomicalm, and he took it for four weeks, which brings us to last week when I took him in again for lab work to make sure the comicalm was having no adverse effects. The very next day they called with the results and said his labs were indicating late stage two kidney disease. There had been zero evidence of this over the last few months each time he had labs. We are now tapering him off the clomicalm, he had X-rays and an ultrasound, (summary in attachment) and he is scheduled for needle aspirates on Thursday. I guess I’m just looking for any advice as to how much I should put him through to get to the root cause, if any. I’m also curious if anyone else has ever experienced anything similar. It seems to have come out of the blue and I’m so sad and worried for him. I’m attaching the latest summary from my vet as well. Thanks for any input/advice!
