Management Of Kidney Failure in Cats
When caring for a cat with kidney disease, it is important to have realistic expectations about what can be achieved. Any damage to the kidneys is irreversible. However, there are a number of treatment options that can improve and extend the life of a cat suffering from kidney failure. The long-term prognosis is relatively good in many cases.
The management of kidney failure is a highly complex subject. A wide variety of symptoms can affect an individual patient, each of which may require a different treatment.
This site outlines the main treatments in use today. However, only a veterinarian can make treatment decisions for your cat. This information aims to help you better understand the recommendations made by your veterinarian.
Some of the treatments explained on this site may not be specifically licensed for use in cats; for further information, please consult your veterinarian.
