Is Dental Fresh water additive safe for my senior cat with kidney disease?

Question

Hi, and thank you for free advice. My vet isn't available. Our 16 yr. old female was just diagnosed with kidney/renal issues. Teeth cleaning needed but her condition too compromised to be put under/stress? Changed her food and she appears to actually be improving. Maybe brushing would help? BUT instead Dental Fresh Original Water: Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide.0.1%, Stabilized with Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda). would help. Is it safe for her? Blood test: ALP 122, ALT 224. Heart rate/sugar OK. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 15 years and 9 months old

It is great to hear Gracie is doing a little better! Brushing can be a help to reduce plaque levels but will not remove any solid tartar on the teeth. I would be cautious about using water additives containing sodium bicarbonate in a cat with dental disease as compromised kidneys can have difficulty in regulating acid balance in the blood. I recommend you do not use until this can be checked with the manufacturer as to levels and safety for cats with kidney disease.Once she is more stable it may be possible to perform a short dental procedure with intravenous fluids and short acting anesthetic in order to remove the source of pain and discomfort from her mouth
