I took my cat into the vet's office a couple days ago to get his annual shots. The vet said his weight was just right, but he had lost a pound or two from last year. She said that if he lost more weight in a short period he may have kidney disease. She also said if he drinks alot or camps out at the water bowl that may also be a sign of kidney disease. And I should look out for big clumps of pee in his litter box. She said that changing his diet, if you catch it early enough, could help.
She said that she had a cat that camped out at the water bowl, but she didn't see him drinking more than he had. But she still changed his diet. He was 15 years old at the time and he was expected to live for only a month or two. They cahnged his diet and he lived till he was 20.
My cat doesn't camp out at the water bowl, but he does have fairly large clumps of pee in his litter box. How big would the clumps have to be before we should be worried? And how do we change his diet? Do we change his food? We have him on the Nutrience food right now. Is that good? Thanx in advance!
