My 10 year old furbaby showed decreased appetite and constipation. A blood test performed showed BUN 65 and creatine 4.3. Her wbc was a little low. An ultrasound showed a fluid sac attached to her kidney. She is currently receiving IV for 48 hours. She also showed signs of a viral infection.She has now been switched to the renal diet. Can you tell me whats her prognosis and what else can be done to improve it?

What other exams should I go for when cat was diagnosed with policistic kidneys, she is only 4 and the other health issue she has is only a slight ventricular hypertrophy that the cardio did not feel the need to medicate. Many thanks

My cat is almost 4 years old and has been diagnosed having a 21mm cyst in one kidney and 3mm cyst in another kidney. He had IV for 3 days and its been 5 days that he started eating RENAL food but he still vomits. The doctor said his blood test is normal we gave blood test twice in one week. I dont know what else can be done.

My cat was diagnosed with PKD 2 yrs ago. recently lethargic, cloudy eyes and now leaves small urine behind when sitting or standing... has he reached last stage? Life expectancy would be...?

We got our cat from a Breeder, never had any issues until a few weeks ago she started passing blood in her urine. Got her tested and put on antibiotics which helped for a week and then again we noticed the same. Did blood tests, urine tests and all was fine. Finally did an ultrasound and she was diagnosed with PKD. Its just heart breaking as she is so young. We hope for the best.

I just had my baby euthanized yesterday. The vet came to my house and she euthanized him on the lawn in the bright sunshine with birds chirping. My Kavir was 11 he was a persian. My emotions are pretty raw right now, especially since the breeder said he was PKD negative. I found out otherwise last year when an ultrasound revealed the truth. I had him on semintra, and he was on acana cat food would not eat anything else. Looking back I think he was in serious condition for the past 4 years. The last 2 weeks he rallied after vet came expressed his impacted anal glands and I was giving him a laxative 4 times a day we also doubled up on semintra last few days he was vomiting, drinking lots of water, not eating, he would lay in one spot on the carpet look at me and meow, I knew then it was time to let him go. This is the second cat I have had that died this way, the first was a himalayan he was 10. I researched the disease and searched for a new kitty, it took a whole year to find him. If this horrible disease is so prevalent why is there no test that can be done to provide proof. I purchased my kitten from a well known breeder and I visited her cattery to check things out, why do canadian vets not do kidney transplants like they do in the US. I would have gladly adopted the cat donor

Our cat Bruce has been being sick on and off for about a month. The vet doesn’t think it’s related to his kidneys, they think it’s hair balls......I’m not so sure. He’s had a ultrasound, X-ray and anti sickness meds and he is still being sick, he seems to have spasms in his lower back (near his hind legs) he is not eating anything.....not even Tuna!!! And he just wants to sleep in our bed. He is still being sick and our vet said to just wait and see how he is. I think if we wait he’s not going to make it through the weekend

My female ragdoll kitten has just been diagnosed with PKD at only 9 weeks old. I started to notice her increased water intake, frequently urinating outside of the litter box even that she is trained, then chance of colour and solidity in her poo. I decided to take her to the vet after only seeing these symptoms for a couple days and that’s when she was diagnosed. Now I’m just worried about my poor babies, quality of life and life expectancy after being diagnosed with this disease so young

I have an 11month old Siamese cat named Poppy. We noticed a decrease in energy and increased shedding a couple months ago, but since more signs started to develop (pica- licking the fireplace grout, decreased appetite, etc) we took her to the vet. We realized she was anemic and had hyperproteinemia. We started her on antibiotics and iron supplement. The vet was puzzled, but five days later at a follow-up appointment, the vet diagnosed her with suspected PKD. We are heartbroken. He gave a vitamin B and steroid injection to hopefully ramp up her appetite. We know Siamese are prone to kidney stones, etc so we’ve always used bottled water and feed her quality food. Any other advice?
