Our cat (8) has chronic pancreatitis and is on daily prednisolone since 2020.. Since 2021 he's had low urine specific urine gravity bounces between 1.010 and 1.017. these tests are sporadic and usually done in ED during a flare.
Our vet just performed yesterday outside of flare and it's still low. All of CBC completely normal, blood salt level normal, glucose normal. Creatinine is 1.4.
She said she's not too concerned but we will check again in couple months. Can either be early warning of kidney disease, pred use, or diabetes insipidus?
He does love drinking out of his water fountains and does pee biggish clumps 5 times a day, but this has been his normal for years and nothing has changed. He's never dehydrated.
Anyways in the meantime vet said not to worry. Plan is to start a taper on his pred, retest, keep all his fountains handy but stop adding extra water to his wet food. He only eats wet food.
Anyone with experience with my super long story? Thanks in advance!
