Question for a friend!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Thank you so much!! I will tell her!! Her cat means all to her!!

Besides kidney problems, it could also be a sign of diabetes. He should have a full spectrum blood panel/urinalysis done. (actually, at 15 years old, he should have this done even if there were no concerns, just to find out how the body is working).

Jen beat me to my answer! I was thnking diabetes because I had a friend who's cat was just like your friend's and he had diabetes.

[kimlovescats]

My suspicion is diabetes as well.

[lv4dogs]

Diabetes was on my mind as well.

Can cats get thyroid problems? IN dogs thats one of the symptoms, increased drinking & urination.

I agree a full blood panel should be done.

Godd luck wishes for your friend & kitty.

Everyone said it correctly-

At 15 a yearly or twice yearly vist to the vet is always a good idea. Remember our beloved kitties hide problems VERY well, and by the time we figure it out, it may be too late

I suggest strongly a trip to the vet - even if there turns out to be nothing wrong with him.

Much better to be safe, than sorry.

Mister Scrappy had those symptoms and he had severe kidney damage,complicated by Diabetes.
I pray that Bliksem will be All Right.
