Dr. Serge Chaloub, starts our podcast like a pro in the second part of the CKD purrpodcast. Serge explains that we need to start testing our cats from 8 years and older for CKD because you want to catch the disease as early as possible. You should weigh your cats regularly as weight loss is not normal in the older cats. We talk about when should you give SC fluids and appetite stimulants, Implantable ports and tubes. Serge talks about how to control phosphorus and why it is important in CKD cats. Serge likes to take a humane ‘feline’ approach to the older cats with CKD. Last but not least we discuss CKD and hypertension, quality of life scales, dialysis, and renal transplants.
