Overview
Reduced appetite, increased thirst, or changes in urination can indicate chronic kidney disease - a common health issue that can affect both dogs and cats. Let's break down what kidney failure is and how we can help your pet feel better.
What Is Kidney Failure?
Kidney failure, also known as renal failure, happens when your pet's kidneys can't effectively filter waste products from the blood. The kidneys play a crucial role in removing toxins, balancing fluids, and producing essential hormones. When they don't work properly, harmful substances build up in the body, leading to various health problems.
Types of Kidney Failure:
Acute Kidney Failure: Occurs suddenly, often due to toxins, infections, or severe dehydration. It can sometimes be reversed with prompt treatment.
Chronic Kidney Failure: Develops gradually over time due to age, genetics, or underlying health conditions. It's a long-term condition that requires ongoing management.
Which Pets Are More Prone to Kidney Failure?
-
Older Pets: Senior dogs and cats are more susceptible due to natural ageing.
-
Certain Breeds: Breeds like Persian cats are genetically predisposed.
-
Exposure to Toxins: Ingesting harmful substances or certain medications like painkillers.
