My kitty just turned 10. I have been feeding him a weightloss diet from the vet because he was almost 21 pounds. He has a large frame. But yes this is too much weight. He got down to 17 pounds which was perfect. But recently, he lost weight rapidly and now is around 15 pounds and I suspect his kidneys are failing.
I have lost kitties to kidney failure before. I wonder if the special science diet I was feeding him contributed to this? I am not trusting the vet diets at all. I'd rather cook for my cats than feed them the frankenfood of kitties. What do you all think? I am only coming from my intuition and it may be totally discounted.
I'm sad for this on the horizon for us. Please let me know what you all know about nutrition and kitty health.
Thanks
Karyn
