Over the years, Chef has been fortunate enough to get to know many outstanding doctors, including Dr. Gao Xiaoke, who is giving this special lecture.

Dr. Gao Xiaoke specializes in internal diseases of dogs and cats. He is a veterinarian who has been practicing for more than fifteen years and still has excellent sensitivity to new knowledge. It is always a pleasure to chat with him, exchange experiences and cases, and often gain different insights. Among Shanghai cat lovers, Dr. Gao is even more well-known.

The topic this time is "Feline Chronic Kidney Disease" that the chef also talked about a few years ago. At that time, the format was courseware paired with live broadcast explanations. It has been a long time, and the original live broadcast link has expired. After receiving feedback from parents, It is quite difficult to understand the long and complicated content by just reading the courseware without listening to the explanation.

Chronic kidney disease in cats is an unavoidable problem for almost all cat-raising families.

Feline chronic kidney disease: incidence rate 30%-50%

Feline CKD

A few cats will get it before the age of 10, and the incidence rate increases sharply after the age of 10. After the age of 15, one-third to one-half of older cats will develop chronic kidney disease.

The chef knows that most parents are "suddenly" I learned that my cat suffered from kidney disease. It may be that the cat has vomited many times, it may be that the cat has had diarrhea for a period of time but the cause cannot be found, or it may have been a long-term loss of appetite. After taking it to the hospital for examination, it was suddenly peed. The diagnosis was that the cat had chronic kidney disease. But in fact, there were signs of the cat’s discomfort before this.

When you see the diagnosis result of "chronic kidney disease", panic, discomfort, sadness or self-blame, all kinds of complex emotions will come up at once, but fortunately, chronic kidney disease It has its own special characteristics. Parents’ early intervention and good home care for cats can completely help them maintain a happy and high-quality family life for a long time. If you can do a planned and targeted review, it can even help your cat prolong his life!

This time, Dr. Gao Xiaoke is specially invited to give you a comprehensive explanation of this high-incidence chronic disease that plagues all cat parents. He is more comprehensive, detailed and professional, and he also answers all kinds of difficult questions for everyone!

This course is mainly for parents. The focus will be on the theme of "Home Care for Cats with Chronic Kidney Disease". If the cat at home is suspected of or has been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, this course will be very suitable. There are many readers and parents of the public account who are willing to learn in advance and understand the knowledge about cat diseases and home care. I believe that this lecture will also benefit you a lot.

In the last FIC live class on feline spontaneous cystitis, we noticed that many veterinarians participated in the class. In view of Dr. Gao's own rich clinical experience, veterinary readers of the public account may also wish to listen if they have their own confusion about chronic kidney disease.
