There is no medication that specifically treats chronic kidney disease. Changing to a therapeutic diet and increasing water consumption can help, and treatment is focused mainly on alleviating clinical signs like nausea or decreased appetite. High blood pressure can occur secondary to kidney disease and if Percy had high blood pressure then a medication might be prescribed. Urinary tract infections are also pretty common in cats with kidney disease so your vet may want to check Percy’s urine periodically.

I am so sorry to hear about Spooky’s discomfort. He is straining to urinate due to inflammation associated with bladder stones, infection, crystals or mucus blocking his urethra. Typically, we treat these patients with pain medication, prazosin (to decrease urethral spasms) and a canned urinary prescription diet. If he has failed to respond to medical therapy and you cannot medicate him, you should contact your veterinarian to discuss hospitalization for medical (urinary catheterization) vs. surgical therapy (perineal urethostomy). Unfortunately, you will need to medicate him independent of the treatment chosen unless he can stay in the hospital until his obstruction resolves.

Any wet or semi wet food that he likes such as liver pate, sausages, sardines and just regular wet cat food. With the syrup I would advise giving it to him directly in the mouth as it can affect the taste of the food greatly.

I like to use Feliway spray, Royal Canin urinary Calm diet, anti-anxiety meds like Lorazepam as-needed, pain meds like long-acting buprenorphine, Zylkene, and sometimes antidepressants like Clomicalm or generic Prozac. All of these things work synergistically to reduce stress for many cats, and you can try all or one or two at a time.

These special treats can be beneficial. Howeever, specific cat food for urinary problems is far superior. You should be able to buy this prescription urinary food at your vet. Another problem that makes male cats prone to urinary troubles is being overweight. !8 lbs is quite heavy and, unless your cat is a very big breed, he may be obese and needs to lose weight. Chronic cystitis/UTI is also caused by stress. If your kitty is the sensitive kind and easily stressed, you need to find potential stress factors in your environment and remedy those. Try some Feliway diffusors or spray to make your kitty more relaxed.
