In companion cats now I am finding an increasing tendency toward Kidney and Liver problems which I ascribe to the chemicals in commercial cat. I know there are various flavour enhancers which are used which are hard on the kidneys and I am not sure about added salt as well. If your cats coat is dull and their hydration is poor (which is tested by pulling a pinch of skin and watching to see how quickly it springs back), it could be that their kidneys are struggling.
Kidney weakness shows in loss of condition and appetite, loss of interest and a certain dullness, possible intermittent vomitting, and/or thirstiness. What is really involved is the interdependent health of the adrenal glands and the kidneys.
Clinical signs of chronic renal failure are not usually apparent until three quarters of the total number of nephrons have been destroyed, so the process may continue over many years and therefore damage may be quite advanced when all becomes known.
When a cat is overly stressed this results in the adrenal glands over stimulating the kidneys. Many cat owners mistakenly believe that it is a salt balance problem.
The Kidney Weakness mix will act to completely rehabilitate the Kidneys (as well as support the Liver) and it includes:- Alfalfa, Buchu, Dandelion, Echinacea, Garlic, Rosehips, Uva Ursi and Yarrow as well as the Bach Flowers Wild Rose and Rescue Remedy.
This mix will enhance kidney health and in turn allow your cat's adrenal glands to return to full potential as well as breaking the cycle of worsening health and form.
Start off on 2 drops to accustom your cat to the taste as they are fussy eaters. Mix into a smelly food like sardines or condensed milk. Then slowly build up the dose to 5 drops twice daily.
