My 15 year old beautiful Chinchilla has been diagnosed with one completely dysfunctional kidney and the second isn't doing a perfect job either. She's been instructed to go onto a specialist renal diet as the lower protein in those food means it's easier for the kidneys to digest.
At the vet's request, she's on Royal Canin Renal dry food. (I've tried the wet renal pouches too but it gave her a runny tummy, so I'm feeding only the dry food for the moment.
Would any of you had cats who responded well on other types of renal foods? I don't think the raw diet would work as meat is pure protein. I'm glad she's been diagnosed so with the vet's help I'll do as much as possible to make her comfortable, but I really wanted to give her all the food that she loves at her ripe old and sadly that isn't an option any more.
I almost feel like googling all the renal/kidney types of cat food and buying it all and leaving it up to my cat to choose what she wants.
