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.

Medications for round worms can be found as well in any pet shops. Unfortunately they are not that effective as the ones on prescription. Urinary problems must be checked by your veterinarian as if controlled the infection/inflammation probably won't resolve by itself. Having said that, a lot of urinary tract problems are related to stress, so often there is are ''stressors'' that can be controlled in cat's environment. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
