Kidney Problems

If your cat’s kidneys are not working properly, it can lead to very serious problems. It is important to recognise the symptoms to be able to improve their quality of life.

WHAT IS CHRONIC
KIDNEY DISEASE?

It is a progressive and irreversible loss of kidney function. As a result, your cat’s kidneys lose their ability to eliminate waste, concentrate the urine and store mineral salts in the blood, progressively intoxicating the organism.

HOW TO SPOT IT?

Spotting it in time is essential, so for this reason, and especially if your cat is over 7 years of age, you should periodically visit the vet. Also, pay attention to the following symptoms:

Loss of weight and muscle mass
Gastroenteritis
Weakened fur
Lack of energy, weakness and tachycardias
Lack of appetite
Mouth and gastric ulcers
Sickness and diarrhoea
Bad breath

HOW CAN YOU HELP THEM?

If you notice any of these symptoms, go to see your trusted vet.
