Is Kidney Disease In Cats Reversible?

Unfortunately, kidney disease in cats is irreversible. One common reason is that many cases are only detected when they are already in an advanced stage when it’s already too late to reverse the damage to the kidneys. The disease will eventually progress with time but affected cats can still be stable and live for a longer length of time with appropriate treatment and management. The treatment regimen has several components. Keeping cats well-hydrated is very important. But cats are known for being finicky with their water intake. Easy ways to increase your cat’s water intake include feeding canned or wet food and getting a water fountain designed for the purpose. Some cats also like drinking from a dripping faucet. If your cat likes flavored water, try using tuna juice, low sodium chicken broth, or beef broth. A cat that’s a poor drinker can be given fluids under the skin (subcutaneously). There are also special diets for cats diagnosed with kidney disease. Ask your vet Frisco, TX about them.
