Kidney problems
If your cat’s kidneys are not working properly, it can lead to very serious problems. It’s important to recognise the symptoms to help improve their quality of life.
Discover Advance Renal and help your cat with their kidney problems.
WHAT IS CHRONIC
KIDNEY DISEASE?
It’s a progressive and irreversible loss of kidney function. As a result, your cat’s kidneys lose their ability to eliminate waste, concentrate urine and maintain mineral salts in the blood, progressively intoxicating the body.
HOW TO SPOT IT?
Early detection is essential. Especially if your cat is over 7 years old, schedule regular vet check-ups. Also, watch for the following symptoms:
Loss of weight and muscle mass
Gastroenteritis
Lack of appetite
Mouth and gastric ulcers
Vomiting and diarrhoea
Bad breath
Lack of energy, weakness and tachycardia
Weakened coat

If you notice any of these symptoms, visit your trusted vet.
