Hi, my cat has kidney disease along with a urine infection. He has taken antibiotics for the infection and we have had a 2nd urine sample. This has just come back as being fine. The Vet however hasn't advised for him to take any medication to help wi
There is no medication that specifically treats chronic kidney disease. Changing to a therapeutic diet and increasing water consumption can help, and treatment is focused mainly on alleviating clinical signs like nausea or decreased appetite. High blood pressure can occur secondary to kidney disease and if Percy had high blood pressure then a medication might be prescribed. Urinary tract infections are also pretty common in cats with kidney disease so your vet may want to check Percy’s urine periodically.

What else should/can we do for our 3 yr. old male cat who has been having bladder crystals (so urinary difficulty), other than the prescribed meds. (a blood pressure one, Gabapentin, & Elavil), and new Rx food (Royal Canin SO), plus some homeoathic d
Sounds like you all are doing quite a bit already. If you feel that pain is not well controlled the addition of something like buprenorphine may be beneficial. Also, there is a surgical procedure that is commonly performed on cats that get urinary blockages. Essentially the urinary tract is changed from a male to a female shape, thereby widening the urethra and making it much less likely to allow for obstruction in the future. Whether or not your vet is comfortable performing this procedure is another thing altogether. I know many vets that can perform it perfectly well while I know others that have never had to perform it a single time. It is a delicate procedure because the urethra of the cat is so small so finding a doctor that is comfortable with it is of utmost importance. If your cat is not a repeat offender or has not yet blocked completely, surgical change may not be the best option at this time. Continue following the directions of the doctor and be patient with waiti

Any wet or semi wet food that he likes such as liver pate, sausages, sardines and just regular wet cat food. With the syrup I would advise giving it to him directly in the mouth as it can affect the taste of the food greatly.

Poor girl. There is a natural anti-anxiety medication that you can try first before resorting to stronger anxiety medication from your vet. The product is called Zylkene and is available on Amazon.com. Ask your vet if this is appropriate for your pet Sabre to try to reduce her anxiety so that she can continue receiving her much needed treatment for kidney failure. I would also encourage you , if you have not done so already, to keep her on her kidney prescription diet, which is the mainstay treatment for pets with kidney failure. Best of luck with your pet Sabre and I hope that she can relax soon and take her treatments with less anxiety. Take care!

Boo cat, male about 16 yr old received some antiviral and antibiotics for upper respiratory problem that he had for 4 or 5 weeks. He had 3 doses and has been eating and drinking, but not urinating as usual. Allergic reaction? Should stop meds?
Based on what you have said, it sounds like the medications are working. Urinating less than usual is not a typical allergic reaction. Unless you have noted that Boo hasn't urinated in 18-24 hours I wouldn't really start worrying yet. Also, typically in cases where they aren't urinating due to a blockage, you will see them hovering inside the litter box, straining, crying, trying to urinate. I would say to keep on giving the medication. If you don't see any urine after a full day, start thinking about going back to the vet.
