There are several warning signs that you may notice in your cat that could indicate kidney function issues, and it's important to take them to get screened if you observe any of these signs.
Some common warning signs to look out for include:
Decreased appetite: Cats with kidney issues may lose their appetite or stop eating altogether.
Increased thirst and urination: Cats with kidney issues may drink more water and urinate more frequently.
Weight loss: Cats with kidney issues may lose weight even if their appetite is unchanged.
Vomiting: Cats with kidney issues may vomit more frequently or have a persistently upset stomach.
Bad breath: Cats with kidney issues may have a strong, unpleasant odor to their breath due to excess waste products in their bloodstream.
Weakness or lethargy: Cats with kidney issues may seem weak or lethargic, and they may be less active than usual.
Changes in behavior: Cats with kidney issues may seem more irritable or anxious than usual, or they may become less affectionate.
If you notice any of these signs in your cat, it's important to get screened as soon as possible.
Early diagnosis and treatment of kidney issues can help improve your cat's quality of life and extend their lifespan.
