Been a tough week for the kitties. We had two older cats this week who lost their fight with severe kidney disease. Neither cat was “sick” until it was too late. Cats are amazing creatures and they can really hide their illnesses.
The only way we can prevent severe illness is to try to catch it early based on examination and lab testing, at least annually (examination for cats over 7 is recommended by the American Association of Feline Practitioners.) If kidney disease is caught early, we have a variety of tools at our disposal to slow the progression of the disease and to help cats to live longer, healthier, happier lives.
Our deepest condolences go out to the families of our lost feline friends
