Hello, I am sorry to hear about Mandy. The best way to heal a kidney infection is with antibiotic therapy. There is no specific diet that will help her recover quicker. However, canned food which has a higher water content could help with her hydration and therefore secondarily help with the infection. If she does not eat canned food already, you could add a small amount to her diet for this period of time. Hope this helps, good luck.
