My cat has kidney disease. What else can I do besides his special diet?

Question

Hi yesterday tony had a recheck of his renal values & SDMA decreased from 18 to 17, creatinine increased from 1.9 to 2.0, BUN increased from 37 to 41. Phosphorus protein potassium are all normal levels. these changes occurred between 12/12/2018 & yesterday. My vet feels these levels are stable. I wanted another opinion & to know if there is anything else I can do for tony at this stage besides his kidney diet? He eats well, he had a successful dental surgery 2wks ago and he’s gained weight! Ty! Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 19 years old | 9.5 lbs

Hello. This actually sounds pretty darn good! The only thing to add is to make sure Tony takes in as much fluids as possible & make sure you stay on top of those kidney rechecks. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
