Diuretics for Cats
Cat Diuretics
Watching a beloved pet struggle with symptoms of high blood pressure or congestive heart failure can be difficult for pet parents, but a diuretic for cats can greatly help reduce symptoms. If your cat seems to be struggling with bloating, labored breathing, weakness, lethargy or other symptoms that often come from heart failure or high blood pressure in cats, it’s a good idea to consult your veterinarian right away. They can diagnose the problem and recommend the correct prescription cat heart and blood pressure medicine from Petco’s pet pharmacy.
FAQs about Diuretics for Cats
Diuretics are a type of medication that helps the body eliminate excess fluids and salts by increasing urine output. They work by increasing the amount of urine that is produced by the kidneys, which helps to remove excess fluids and salts from the body. In cats, diuretics are typically used to treat conditions that cause fluid buildup, such as congestive heart failure, kidney disease, or liver disease.
Diuretics may be prescribed for cats with conditions that cause fluid buildup, such as congestive heart failure, kidney disease, liver disease, or pulmonary edema. Diuretics may also be used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) in cats.
Some of the most common prescription diuretics for cats include furosemide (Lasix), hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDIURIL), and spironolactone (Aldactone). These medications are usually prescribed by a veterinarian and require a prescription to obtain.
Furosemide is often used as a diuretic for cats. It can help treat congestive heart failure or high blood pressure. One of the most common Furosemide side effects in cats is increased urination, but that’s a sign that the medication is effectively eliminating excess water from your cat’s body. Since Furosemide is a prescription medication and dosage in cats can vary, talk to your veterinarian before giving your cat this medicine. Your vet will provide you with appropriate guidance, and you can find Furosemide for dogs and cats at Petco’s pet pharmacy.

My 8 y/o male cat had his first bout of cystitis a few weeks ago, my vets only solution was to give Rx food (Hills, Royal Canin or ProPlan) these all have fish products in them (even non fish flavors) and my cat is allergic. They have no other suggestions and said he will have another issue if he's not on that food. I've read about Wysong Uretic wet food, Wysong Biotic ph- supplement, Cystease, Tinkle Tonic, etc - would anything else work as an alternative? PLEASE HELP!
My poor Kitty started on a new Heart med called amlodipine 2.5 mg (1/2 tab) I don’t think he’s lathagic but he sure isn’t drinking much water. He was just diagnosed with Moderate cardiac myopathy. He had a drink well drinking fountain but I was tired replacing them..had it for years. Am I stuck supplying fountains? Or is something wrong? He appears to be fine but cats are so good at covering up what’s going on. His name is Olie he’s a Four and a half and a MainCoon. Thank Yo

How much unflavored pedialyte would you give a 6lb senior cat to help prevent dehydration from diarrhea due transitioning to a new food? Can it be given directly with a feeding syringe or should it be diluted in water and if so how much dilution? Thank you.

Rosie is a 4 1/2 year old healthy cat who now won’t drink water. 3 weeks ago yearly vet visit she’s great! Now she’s lost ~ 1/2 pound. Acts fine, no evidence of disease or illness except minor dehydration. SubQ fluid, Covenia, DEXA given by vet yesterday as she’s had UTI in past. Have cat water fountain she loves - no interest now. Eats dry urinary + calm Royal Canin and 1 spoon pumpkin per day. Will not eat moist. Yesterday and today she licked liquid of small can of food. WORRIED!
My 15 year old cat has stage 2 kidney disease. She shows no changes in her personality or daily habits. She will not eat any of the renal wet prescription diet food that our vet has suggested. What would be the best brand of store shelf wet food for her? I have been reading labels for high protein and moisture, good Omega 3, low phosphorus and alot of brands seem to be about the same. She is a fussy eater.
My cat has fluid building up in her abdomen her activity and eating and playing is normal but isn’t pooping.. Is it okay to give her Cat lax to make her use the bathroom without making her situation worst until she can get drained
Hello! My cat is having diarrhea probably due to him eating rossitary chicken that was left on the counter. The diarrhea is extremely watery with no signs of any solids and he continues to use the litter box constantly throughout the night. Another concern of mine that my cat isn’t really a big fan of drinking water as he ends up toppling it down (still I leave out a fresh bowl when he does) I’m trying to avoid getting him dehydrated but he just won’t drink the water, only play with it.
my 8 year old cat does not drink much water. I changed her to wet Pro Plan Urinary food as suggested by the vet. She uses the poop box. But I have noticed her appetite is less and she lays around a lot more. I am worried about diabetes even though she does not have the obvious symptoms. Was treated for urinary tract problem but vet did not test her urine just prescribed antibiotic. Any suggestions?
