Hi guys, Sorry for the massive post I added his latest results below.
So my 13 y.o cat has had blood and urine results that put him as bordline or possible kidney disease about a year ago and at our most recent visit the vet said he would now be classified as stage 1 kidney disease. He felt the levels have been fairly stable and did not recommend any course of action at this stage.
I've brushed up on what I already know, but I'm still a little overhwhelmed with all the information and can't quite find anything straight foward on what, if anything I could do.
I foud this info: Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 1 Electrolytes. The primary treatment at this point is to supplement lost electrolytes, which are usually just potassium, but can also be phosphorus or calcium, and to increase water intake.
My guy is currently on an all wet diet, has his spring water fountain and some dental chews occasionaly. We took a break trying raw as he just wouldn't take to it (many many tries) though I will keep trying periodically, but I don't expect it to ever be a large portion of his diet.
Any help or information specific to stage 1 would be greatly appreciated. My vet would be open to persuaive ideas if I present them. I found this site super helpful in the past so I really appreciate it.
Thanks so much
