    Symptoms of Feline Renal Failure

     

    Feline Renal Failure – not always an immediate death sentence

    Symptoms of  feline renal failure manifest in various ways in our cats.  Some symptoms can be attributed to other diseases as well.  In your ongoing regular observation of your favorite feline, should any of the following issues arise, (listed below) have your cat checked out at the vet.

    Should your cat be in stages of feline renal failure, you can do some things to help your special friend be more comfortable, perhaps extend its days with and enjoy more quality time with her favorite person. (Note: contrary to a too-commonly believed ‘solution’…killing your cat is not a necessary option…)

    cats  with renal disease may drink from unusual placesAn increased intake of water and urination can be two of the first signs that can be noticed by us, although they can also be symptoms of other maladies.

    Your cat may show unusual  inclinations to drink from your toilet, start jumping into the sink by the faucet, lap up puddles outside or  drink from a pond …places it normally would not quench its thirst.

    WARNING Signs of Feline Renal Failure

     Have your cat checked  immediately at the vet if you notice any of these symptoms:

    • Drooling
    • Lack of coordination
    • Loss of appetite or interest in eating
    • Weight loss
    • Bad Breath
    • Pale gums
    • Vomiting episodes
    • Mouth ulcers
    • Gingivitis
    • Weakness, lethargy, depression *
    • Poor condition of coat

     

    * Sudden onset of kidney failure – acute renal failure – can be a result of ingesting a toxic substance, urinary blockage trauma or other issues affecting the kidneys. If treated quickly enough, before much damage has been done to the kidneys, the outlook for survival and recovery has an upside, and damage may even be reversible.

    sleeping catA cat that  suddenly appears overly drowsy  when it normally would not, or lethargic, even immovable, signals something wrong. FAST action is necessary to remove any potential toxins that may have been ingested. Take your cat immediately to the vet or emergency. Minutes can matter!

    Chronic feline renal failure, the most common form to affect cats, develops gradually in response to other underlying disease, and the kidneys stop working as efficiently over time.

    When the kidneys no longer function optimally, toxins increase in the bloodstream of your cat. Due to the ensuing nausea, there is logically a loss of appetite. Feeling less than ideal, the cat may stop grooming itself and become lethargic or depressed, which may also be influenced by reduced nutrition.

     

    Assisted Death is Not the Only Option for Your Cat with Feline Renal Failure

    Note that a cat declining from feline renal disease need not be euthanized.  If it is not unduly suffering from total shut down of its kidneys,  your special care and some simple treatments at home can help give some relief for these noted  conditions and comfort to your cat and often extend its days with some quality.   Your help  in grooming tasks can help your cat feel better as well, while enhancing your bond and your cat’s waning days.

    We have treated all of our rescues diagnosed with CRF for months with success and gave them more quality days to enjoy their favorite hang outs, basking in the sun, favorite garden spots, craved  lap sessions,  the pleasure of warm cuddles and precious kisses and  all-out love in their final days.

    rainbowOnce the disease has progressed and the kidneys have ceased operating, the cat will stop urination.

    At some point, no relief can be provided and some cat guardians will contemplate euthanasia, while some cats will decide to pass over themselves.

    Meanwhile, your loving attention, consistent care and proper feline treatment for renal failure will reward you with added days of joy and love to enjoy together with your beloved cat.
