Next to noticing that your cat is drinking and urinating more often, the other big tip-off that your cat may have kidney disease is a sudden loss of weight.
The weight loss is often because one of the symptoms of kidney failure is a loss of appetite and possibly nausea. Unfortunately, you may not notice that your cat is eating less until he or she has dropped several pounds. Weight loss is considered to be a serious problem when it exceeds 10 percent of your cat's normal body weight.
You may eventually notice the weight loss as well as an overall boniness to your cat that you didn't see before. Their spines and haunches may stick out. It could be due to the nausea and loss of appetite. Or the fact that your cat is drinking and urinating more, and therefore may be losing protein and electrolytes.
However, weight loss is associated with other feline diseases such as diabetes, thyroid disease, and inflammatory bowel disease, too. So it's important to get your cat tested by your vet to determine the cause of the sudden weight loss.
Presuming that your cat is diagnosed with kidney disease, you'll start a new special diet for her and start doing everything you can to maintain her weight, including low-protein foods, hydration, treats, and more.

Unbelievable, I remembered I was once here in need of help on how to go about the problem of Nephrosis I was having, I must say those years was so frustrating, the experience was something outside the world of being normal,my wife had to join me in search of various kind of help,and the search lasted for 1 year and some months and like a dove sent from heaven, a friend of mine referred me to Dr Johnson a specialist with a difference full of knowledge, with his vaccines/medications and his advice on what to stay clear off and how to approach the problem, after one month of using his product, I was made well, I never believed there is a cure to Nephrosis, but now am a testimony.
