This is one I was hoping never to come across, but if I'm honest with myself about the type of cat that tends to find its way to my house, I shouldn't be suprised.
Wendel has kidney disease.
We don't know much yet - have to phone the vet tomorrow to see about changing his diet and other treatments. He shows no symptoms. Has a lovely coat, good muscle mass and a solid weight of 12-ish pounds. Apparently his BUN is still relatively normal but his CREA is climbing. It showed a bit high inhis dental back in late December and a retest today showed it climbing. I don't think its too advanced yet, but with the FIV our vet is pretty aggressive with Wendel's treatmemt plans and sounds like he will be with this too.
My boy is 6 in April...you guys know I'll do whatever I need to for my guys, but if anyone has experience keeping this in check I'd love some suggestions.
Now I'm off to read the kidney threads.
