Other Notes

When Rowan arrived at Mayhew we noted that he was drinking more than normal. We carried out investigations to check the cause of this increased thirst. Following urine and blood testing. We believe Rowan has possible reduced kidney function. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is staged between 1-4, with stage 4 being the most advanced stage of disease. After preliminary blood tests were carried out Rowan was graded early Stage 2. Blood tests were repeated 1 month later and these levels were found to have returned to normal levels however his urine was not concentrating as was seen previously, There is still a concern that there is the possibility of CKD which should be monitored with blood tests every 6 months to begin with. You should seek further investigation and clinical diagnosis with your own vets. In addition to Rowan's issues both cats have had some mild cat flu symptoms. These have been limited to some sneezing and both cats are fine in themselves without any additional treatment being needed. Both Cats have been behaviorally assessed and have had preventative care in the form of neutering, microchipping and vaccinations.
