Hill's Prescription Diet Feline k/d Plus Kidney & Mobility
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a conditionoften associated with advanced age. According to recent data, 1 out of 3 catswill develop CKD in their lifetime. It is also common for senior cats todevelop other age-related conditions such as reduced mobility or cognitivedysfunction, which can significantly impact the quality of life of both the catand the pet parent.
Degenerative joint disease (DJD) is acommon condition in senior cats and causes pain and inflammation in a cat’sjoints. Studies have shown that DJD is so common that 90% of cats over the ageof 12 years suffer from DJD. Cats hide their pain very well; therefore, petparents may not recognize the signs of joint disease. Some of these signsinclude being less active while awake or sleeping more than usual, behaviorswhich can be seen as normal considering the age of the cat.
As cats grow older, they might suffer fromcognitive dysfunction. The behavioral signs of cognitive dysfunction tend tobecome noticeable in cats that are 10 years of age or older. The signs includespatial disorientation, wandering away from home into unfamiliar territory,lack of interest in playing, excessive sleeping, altered cycles of sleep andwakefulness, long periods of staring blankly into space or at walls,indifference to food and water, urinating and defecating outside the litterbox, and seemingly unprompted episodes of loud vocalizing, frequently in themiddle of the night.
