The hard truth about obesity in our pets is that there are not many medical conditions that independently cause too much weight gain.

"In 2001 a very special little kitten came to stay at our house named Emma. She weighed in at a whopping 2 ½ pounds. When she was about 9 months old she began vomiting and wouldn’t eat. The doctors at Piney Creek Square Veterinary Clinic took x-rays, but nothing showed up on them. She was losing weight, and she was thin by nature anyway, so everyone was worried about her. Dr. Behrns came to the rescue and performed emergency surgery on our little girl. She found an almond trying to pass into Emma’s stomach. Of course, it would not have shown up on an x-ray. Thank you, Dr. Behrns, for saving Emma’s life."

However, the typical course for addressing a cat’s kidney disease after lab results are obtained depends directly on how compromised your cat’s health is and how high and out of range the kidney values are out of normal.
Any time your pet is drinking and eating too much while at the same time appearing to lose weight, Diabetes mellitus or “sugar diabetes” is one of the conditions suspected.
