kidney problems

A:Drink any kind of dark colored juice i.e. Cranberry, Pomegrante, Blueberry...Won't so much help the pain, but can decrease problem time. As for pain, take an over the counter drug specific for backpain.

A:Chronic renal failure is extremely tough on both the cat and the owner. It's going to be an expensive uphill battle, but if you're willing to do it, that's great. The treatments your cat is on are basically to minimize waste products that the kidney must filter, thereby lightening its load. Animals do not show signs of renal failure until the kidneys are up to 75% damaged, so by the time we find it they're already pretty far gone. This is, unforunately irreversible in the case of chronic failure. Properly cared for, a cat can live for months, even years before the kidney failure eventually gets the best of them. The keys are making sure his meds are regular and keeping him hydrated. He is going to lose a lot of fluid every time he urinates, so subcutaneous fluids are going to be key. Eventually he will get thin and have a hard time doing the things he loves. When you start to see this, you may have to consider euthanasia. As a veterinary student, I see euthanasia as one of the kindest things we can do for some of our patients. It should be used conservatively of course, and only if you know your cat is suffering. Unfortunately he is not going to get better, so the best thing you can do is make the time he has comfortable and recognize when he is suffering. Usually the biggest indicator is that they stop eating, so watch his appetite. Good luck with your cat, I know it's a difficult road but you can do it!

A:A kidney problem usually shows in the result of your urine test. If you have a kidney infection, your urinalysis will show plenty of bacteria, pus, blood. Back ache can also be one of the symptoms of Urinary Tract Infection pr kidney infection but it can also be due to a number of reasons like disc herniation, lumbago, etc. Just go see your doctor.

A:*Thinks about this* Seems a bit of an abstract thing to happen.... but if your kidneys aren't working properly then your blood isn't being effectively filtered, and all kindsa crap could be building up in there and reacting with different parts of your body along the way..... so yes, its possible...
