Hi everyone, long-time lurker looking for advice. I've had my cat since she was six months old and she's now four and a half. I've been taking her to Modern Animal. I got her test results today and according to her urinalysis results, her urine is dilute and her creatinine is 2.3. Her potassium is 5.3, up from 4.5 last year. pH was also high. The vet says she has stage 2 chronic kidney disease. They want me to do a blood pressure check, put her on the renal-specific diet (which I have issues with), have an abdominal ultrasound (which they don't do) and re-do bloodwork and urinalysis in a month.
I feed her only Koha (low ingredient wet food), which I always mix with water. She doesn't get dry food, or treats that have carbs. I'm just looking for advice. Should I take her somewhere else for a second opinion? Does this sound strange? Have I been a bad cat mom? I lost my other kitty in 2019 and am just so upset right now. She's not even five.
Any advice y'all can give me would be much appreciated!!
