Both cats have now been diagnosed with renal medullary washout. Translation, their kidneys are no longer able to concentrate their urine, so fluids simply flow through them.
A week ago, both these cats were active, healthy loving cats. Now they are lethargic, withdrawn, fearful, they have decreased appetite and they are filling up their litterpans faster than I can clean them.
The nephrons have been gradually destroyed within their systems on a pretty rapid basis which is not normal. Kidney disease is generally a gradual progression of symptoms. Although the vet isn’t willing to point a finger at the food it is quite a coincidence that suddenly two of my cats are diagnosed with the same thing in line with the tainted food symptoms others are also experiencing. Truly sucks
