Hello! My vet suspects my 13 year old white and orange kitty, Taki has early signs of renal failure. Increased thirst and urination, eating a bit less. His bloodwork didn’t indicate a major change in his diet needed to happen yet.
He’s overweight (always hovered between 16-18 and has lost some muscle mass according to the vet as well. He was just there about a month ago. Yesterday I noticed his hind leg giving out subtly.
We got a new kitty 6 weeks ago and successfully have introduced them. It took about 5 weeks. I kept them separate and the used separate litter boxes for this time because my new kitty was being treated for worms. We have to retest both stool early next week to confirm both are good. We since moved the past few days and they have shared a litter box for half a week. No sign of worms.
He has been climbing more because of all the moving boxes and still jumps from distances. I’m wondering if he landed wrong. I’ll be keeping an eye on him for sure and try and let him rest before stressing him out with a vet just yet.
Would this relate to renal failure and the loss of muscle perhaps?
He eats metabolic and canned fancy feast/metabolic canned. Probably 200-225 calories a day.
Thank you!
