My 15 year old female cat had a vet checkup and blood tests came back elevated urea (BUN 44) and creatinine (CREA 2.6). The vet said this is early chronic kidney disease and cannot be reversed she also lost 2 pounds in a year. I was told I must change the diet and it won't fix the issue but slow it down.
I don't know anything about this health issue and the vet was talking like I'm in vet school and told me to put my cat on Royal Canin renal formula from the office, but I'm hearing bad things about the brand and ingredients and corn is high on it and my cat has a VERY sensitive stomach that's why years ago we took her off science diet and onto blue wilderness. The vets old food gave her diarrhea, gas and vomiting constantly. Once we switched those issues went away.
I tried switching foods and my cat got ill from them, so I don't know what to do now? Is there supplements I can give in can food to help this condition? Any food brand in pet stores good quality like blue wilderness yet helpful for her condition? I don't know what's in the food that causes kidney issues so I don't know what to look for in food I give?
