My 14 yo cat was recently diagnosed with CKD. Unfortunately, her kidney values have continued to get significantly worse in a short period of time.
My vet said one diagnostic option is to do an ultrasound, but that she doesn't recommend it because the treatment is always the same regardless of the results.
It worries me not to do the ultrasound, because I keep thinking, "What if we could find something that would help her treatment?" However, I do trust this vet, and my cat HATES having procedures done & would be stressed and require opiates if we were to do it.
Does anyone have any experience with ultrasound for a diagnostic tool for CKD?
