Hello everyone,
My diabetic cat Sebastian has kidney disease but he has no real symptoms yet, just his creatinine is high. It was discovered in his pre dental bloodwork. He is acting totally normal. The problem is he doesn't drink any water that I see and his water bowl is always full. I got a fountain for him, but I haven't seen him use it in 4 weeks. But I have been able to add 3/4 cup (12 tablespoons) water to his wet food total every day. Is this good enough? Is it too much? It's crazy I am worried about him getting enough water now after I was so happy he stopped drinking so much as his diabetes got under control. He is almost 9 years old and is an 18lb. cat (he needs to be closer to 14lbs but it's been slow going) and his diabetes is possibly in remission, the vet is trying him on no insulin currently to see. His liver enzymes were also discovered to be high on his bloodwork, but he has no real symptoms associated with that yet either, but he is going to start on denamarin soon once it comes in at the vet.
