A great post there. Not every know that they should look for these signs and don’t associate liver failure, cancer etc with pets.
This was a very good and useful article. I enjoyed it a lot.
Mt cat does have kidney problems and is on medication under the local vet. He does not like the renal cat food I buy at the vets. Are you able to advise the type of food he should be eating. Thank you
