You can tell if your cat is dying of liver failure by taking your cat to a Veterinarian and getting it checked out. Your Vet could maybe add some years to your Cat's life or maybe diagnose something else. You owe it your cat to take it in to be checked out by your Veterinarian.

Common Symptoms of feline renal (kidney) disease

  • Poor coat
  • Loss of appetite
  • Depression and/or vomiting
  • Presence of blood in the urine

If you think your cat has kidney failure you should consult a veterinarian. If the vet confirms the kidney failure, you can purchase a herbal formula to treat it called Tripsy made by Petwellbeing.com: http://www.petwellbeing.com/products/cat-kidney-disease

Feline Diabetes is a growing issue among pet housecats. Diabetes in cats typically develops as a metabolic condition rather than a congenital or infectious problem - the exocrine pancreas that releases insulin in response to a meal becomes overworked and slowly reduces the amount of insulin being released. This results in high blood sugar levels which can then cause a variety of other problems.

Predisposing conditions for diabetes includes free-choice meals, the cat being overweight (you can ask your veterinarian for help determining this), minimal exercise and increasing age.

Clinical signs of diabetes includes increased appetite, increased water consumption and increased urination (you can check this by counting the number and estimating the size of the urine cakes in the litter box over time - you'll see more cakes, but they'll be a little smaller or the same size as usual).

Your veterinarian can collect a urine sample to check for sugar in the urine - if this is present, he/she will need to collect a blood sample to see how much sugar is in the blood stream. Based upon this, your veterinarian can give you a good idea whether or not your cat is diabetic.
