my oldest cat, ginsy, will be ten on march 5th. i’ve had her since she was nine weeks. she was diagnosed with early stages of renal failure today.
i brought her to the vet to get her shots and i had them take blood. she recently had a bacterial infection that caused diarrhea. she’s doing much better but i started watching her drinking habits and i was worried she had diabetes so i had them do bloodwork. i feel terrible because i have five cats so i didnt notice she was peeing that much because i don’t see her actually pee. i assumed it was because i have so many. good thing is the doctor said that it’s in the very early stages and that they want to start off with prescription food and a diet change.
i guess i’m asking for advice. what’s it like to care for a cat with kidney failure? what’s the best prescription food? is there anything i can add to her diet to improve kidney health? she’s my first cat and i love her very much. i’m just very worried about losing her.
