Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common condition in senior pets, especially cats, and occurs when the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste from the bloodstream. Early signs may include increased thirst and urination, weight loss, and decreased appetite. At Rose Veterinary, Dr. McCartney diagnoses chronic kidney disease through bloodwork and urine testing to determine the best path forward for your pet.

Management typically includes a kidney-friendly diet, medications to control blood pressure and phosphorus levels, and regular monitoring of kidney values through bloodwork. We'll adjust your pet's plan as their kidney function changes over time.
While CKD can't be cured, consistent management can slow its progression and help your pet feel better for months or even years. Left unmanaged, kidney disease can progress more quickly and lead to serious complications, so ongoing monitoring is essential.
If your pet has been diagnosed with kidney disease or is showing symptoms, contact Rose Veterinary at (602) 341-5214.
