I'm really upset because I've just found out that my vet could have given me really bad advice on the diet of my elderly cat. The cat had a kidney and thyriod diesase and the vet told me she needed a special diet of chicken and white fish but she was not allowed tinned cat food at all. I followed his advice and she seemed to enjoyed the new diet but after a while she got worse and had to be put to sleep (she was on old cat)
Yesterday I went to the vet ( i have another cat) to get some flea stuff and while i was in there I asked the vets nurse if i should give the cat I have now that same special diet (she is old too). i explained that my last cat had been on a special chicken and white fish diet and the nurse said that is the worst possible diet to put a cat with kidney disease on. I was so shocked and I've just checked on the net and it says a high protein diet shouldn't be given to cats with kidney diseases. I'm so upset i thought I was doing the best for her but it seems I made things worse : ( Do any cat owners know anything about this?
