Kidney Disease-Even HCM Cats May Need Treatment

If your cat develops kidney disease-CKD-the cat needs a low protein, low phos diet. The article lists some of those brands. This may also apply to your HCM cat but in a different way. With heart disease, the kidney function declines. With diuretics, the kidneys take on the load of the work. Both issues create some decrease in function. At some point, your HCM cat may need a CK diet.
Both CKD and HCM cats need more potassium supplementation (Renal K, Nature Made, Sundown, etc.) as well as COQ10, vitamin E, vitamin C (made for felines), and iron (use human iron cut into halves or quarters.)
