My mother's 4 months old kitten has chronic large kidneys (she has always head them). The vet did an ultrasound and noted that they were an unusual color (completely dark with no spots). My mother is seeing a specialist but could not great a straight answer from the vet about what this could mean. Besides from enlarged kidneys, the kitten experiences no symptoms. She eats, drinks a usual amount of fluid, urinates normally. I was curious if I could be provided with some answers as to what this might be.

Willy my 12 year old male orange tabby has went from 20 to 10.5lbs over the last year and a half. Two vet visits have yielded solutions that haven’t helped. He is emaciated and won’t eat but constantly begs for food. He occasionally throws up in large volumes overnight and drinks/urinates more frequently that last two months. He was treated with anti nausea meds, and 2 rounds of antibiotics. At this point he’s fed whichever high protein food I can get him to accept (last week included: cooked chicken, fresh raw pork, raw ground beef, tuna (with water), and Science Diet K/D perscription cans. All the meat was mixed with cat vitamins and pro-flora. He’ll rarely eat the same type of food twice a day. I can email you his complete labs and x-ray (as PDF if won’t paste correctly) In short: fecal was clear, X-rays showed inflamed kidneys (redily palpable), BUN 69mg/dL high, creatinine 2.9mg/dL high, White BC 21.1 10^3L high, RBC 5.7 10^6 low, HGB 9.1 g/dL low. Monocytes 5% high, Absolute Neutrophils 10550 high, Absolute Monocytes 1055 high, Absolute Eosinophils 2532 high. All other blood, urine, and fecal test parameters were within normal range. Thanks in advance for your generous help in saving my little buddy 💗 Related to: https://wagwalking.com/cat/condition/kidney-inflammation

Hi, my cat had a kidney infection 2 months ago since she got dehydrated. Took her to the vet got an X-ray done she had an enlarged left kidney. However the renal function came normal with the urea and creatinine in normal limits. Recently she has been lethargic and has been feeling feverish so we took her to the vet again and got another xray done. This time the x ray showed multiple masses on her left kidney. We are still waiting for the blood work to come back to check her Renal functions but she has been slightly active (as compared to before) and has been eating normally. She has no problems urinating however a few times she did urinate outside the box. She isn’t feeling thirsty though. I know the most probable diagnosis is a renal lymphoma but is there a chance it could be anything else?

A few months ago, I found blood in my cat's piss so I brought him to vet. He then got diagnosed with enlarged kidney. Ultrasound and blood test also done to him and everything seems normal. He normally only eats Royal Canin's Urinary Treatment food, but since then I added Renal Special but not given as much in amount. His appetite has always been good, and I've always made sure that he has enough water and actually drink it. However, I haven't noticed his kidneys being any smaller, yet. Since his appetite and weight are always healthy (no problems, about 9-10pounds), should I worry? I also add wet food to balance his diet.

Mekia went in to the vets yesterday for her round in vaccination and the vets discovered enlarged kidneys 2 fingers big. She is only 980 grams while her brother is 1.80kg. We have only had the two for 4 weeks. Mekia was only 500gms then. She is eating well, active, toileting well and seems happy enough. The vet did blood tests and an ultrasound. I can't really remember exactly what she said as I was in shock. But she said it could be a kidney infection or a genetic disease. If it's the genetic disease she most likely won't make it past 1 year old. We have started her on antibiotics and have to go back in week. Then she may need to be sedated for a more thorough ultrasound. We are shattered.
