In humans, polycystic kidney disease is a genetic disorder that causes clusters of cysts to grow in the kidney. This condition causes the kidneys to enlarge over time and lose function. The same goes for Persian cats! Some data suggest that genetically, Persian cats are more likely than other breeds to develop polycystic kidneys (PKD). With this in mind, it is important to do frequent check-ups on your Persian’s health and stay on the look for symptoms, such as: 1. Lethargy 2. Weight loss 3. Reduced appetite 4. Vomiting 5. Increased thirst 6. Increased urination If you have suspicions about such persistent symptoms, contact a vet immediately! #catshealth #healing #catpower #kittensofinstagram #energy #meow #catfood #sickcat #poorcat #vetsurgery #veterinarymedicine #felinesurgery
