It's so hard to deal with and everything will remind you of them. But on the bright side, you will find comfort in the happy memories of them. Sending hugs<3

Hi fellow renal kitty owners. This is my second cat to be diagnosed with CKD.

arthritis can be a big influence on this as they can sometimes struggle to get into the box. Id definitely recommend a lower box or even some pee pads too. And look into antinol - fabulous joint supplement!

Maybe cut like a U shape so it has a dip and she can just walk in. Maybe the arthritis makes it hurt to lift her paws into the box. Or a little ramp leading up to the box so it’s just walking in.

She’s 15. She’s still sharp as a tack though. She understands commands and follows them, comes when called, etc. I hope your kitty doesn’t have dementia. I’m picking up a lower box today to see if that helps.

My CKD kitty has been peeing outside is box recently too. I'll be on the hunt for a different litter box when I get off work today. I already do the pee pads, but that's not helpful when he's not in the box. Here's hoping this fixes both our problems 💜💜

Possibly, it depends on the reason. If they have something going on (like a UTI) they might be associating the pain of peeing with the litter box, so they go elsewhere. But in my case it's not clear why, as sometimes he would use it, other times not. He would sometimes even be standing half way in the LR (face inside; ...

Does low urine specific gravity always indicate CKD, or can this also be a result of something like a UTI or kidney infection? Thanks so much!
r/renalcats

r/RenalCats

A low specific gravity is not indicative of a UTI. It means their urine is very dilute. That was the first sign we found and then did blood work which showed renal disease.
r/renalcats

r/RenalCats
2024-03-08
Urine gravity on its own does not mean much. Urine gravity can vary massively through the day, and with water consumption - if your cat drinks too much water the gravity will decrease. If you want a reliable indicator of CKD - do blood tests AND urinalysis. Thinks to look at as a whole: - urine gravity - protein c...

Not a result of a UTI but a low specific gravity can be a more hospitable environment for bacteria to grow. I think USG can be a leading indicator of kidney disease whereas bloodwork is a bit more of a lagging indicator. That being said, similar to what others have commented, USG doesn’t paint the full picture and CK...

It's a tricky one.
