你知道嗎 腎臟功能即使掉到25%，表面看上去仍然能正常運作。
這樣導致主人一般發現帶到診所時，腎臟功能往往已經失去75％，伴隨著嚴重併發症例如尿毒症、胰臟炎，情況非常棘手。在腎病初期，必須依靠主人仔細觀察才能留意到腎臟問題。例如：體重減輕、食慾減退、疲倦多睡、嘔吐、口臭等In recent years, I can't help but sigh, watching the cats and dogs with kidney diseases in major communities gradually increase. From a clinical point of view, there are endless cases of kidney diseases caused by eating the wrong food and taking the wrong medicine. From the urine test, the blood creatinine and urea nitrogen increase several times, the protein content in the urine is 1+ to 3+, and the urine specific gravity decreases. Cats and dogs with kidney diseases show weakness, refusal to eat, vomiting, loose stools or no stool, frequent urination or no urination, thin body, anemia, low blood calcium, high phosphorus, etc.
After bringing their pets home from the clinic, parents hope to help their pets recover by making light food such as "rice porridge with chicken cubes" or "mashed potatoes with rice" or letting cats and dogs eat "kidney disease prescription dry food" which most veterinarians directly recommend. They think that the protein and phosphorus are more proportionally controlled. But is this really the case? Let's explore this together.
How kidney problems develop
To cure kidney problems, we must first understand how kidney problems develop and what nutrients are good for the kidneys.
The diet for kidney failure is suitable for calcium supplementation and phosphorus reduction, low sodium and potassium, low calories, high nutritional density, appropriate protein, and providing sufficient and appropriate nutritional support for the body. (Fresh food plays a very important role here. Boiling food can effectively reduce the content of sodium, potassium and phosphorus, and can also replenish water.) Many people think that kidney problems are to reduce nutrition, or do not know what nutrition should be supplemented. What's worse, in fact, the occurrence of kidney disease is caused by internal dampness and heat caused by long-term high nutrition and high protein . Therefore, the principle of kidney treatment is: remove evil, strengthen the body, remove the toxins in the blood, open the stagnation of qi, so that qi and blood can circulate and metabolize regularly, which is conducive to the expulsion of pathogens. While removing the evil, we should also support the essence of the heart, spleen and kidney, that is, the yin and yang . The support mentioned here does not mean the use of a large number of tonic drugs, but to support the yang of the three internal organs while taking care of the yin. Ye Tianshi said that when the evil enters the Ying, it can penetrate the heat and transform the qi, and when the evil enters the blood, it consumes the blood and moves the blood, so it is necessary to cool the blood and disperse the blood. Here, penetrating the heat is to penetrate the evil. Only when the evil is penetrated and the qi is transformed, the qi can be unblocked, and then the cooling and dispersing of the blood can also be effective.
In terms of strengthening the body, the main focus is on supporting the heart, spleen and kidney. The spleen is the most important. The spleen and stomach are the middle burner. Protect the qi of the middle burner and keep the middle burner rising and falling normally. In cases of kidney disease, those who do not eat for a month or many days often have persistent symptoms, evil spirits, red or light and dark tongue color, and rotten edges on the tip of the tongue, which are all signs of internal depression and heat.
This disease often first damages the Yang, resulting in poor function, urinary obstruction or incontinence, loose stools or constipation. At this time, the body is weak and the evil is strong, so warm the Yang to eliminate the evil. Do not use diuretics, including Western diuretics, aggressively when urinary obstruction is not seen. If there are pigmentation on the tongue surface and tongue, you need to use blood circulation and blood stasis, but do not use too much in the initial stage, and gradually increase the dosage.
Six principles of food for cats and dogs with renal failure Diet therapy for treating kidney problems
Cats and dogs must drink about 60-70% water per meal. Kidney failure and chronic kidney disease. Cats and dogs have weakened water storage functions. In order to avoid chronic dehydration, water intake is very important. Most prescription diets for kidney diseases are dry and contain only a very small amount of water, about 10%. We should do everything possible to allow cats and dogs to absorb as much water as possible. It is incredible that veterinarians require furry children to eat dry food and then perform subcutaneous infusions. This contradictory practice is illogical and unhealthy to the extreme. In fact, cats need 50-60mL of water per kilogram of body weight, and dogs need 60-70mL of water per kilogram of body weight to correct fluid deficiency and excess in order to relieve acid-base imbalance and electrolyte abnormalities. If you can absorb enough water from food, you can reduce the amount of subcutaneous water injected. Even if you have enough water, injecting subcutaneous water is not a necessary measure.
Appropriate and high-quality protein. Generally, cats and dogs with chronic kidney disease have the problem of refusing to eat. In addition, their appetite is even worse when they suffer . If you look closely, the first four ingredients of some commercial kidney formulas are fermented rice, corn bran, pork fat, and chicken by-products, which are not even high-quality animal protein sources. If cats want to "limit protein intake", then they do it... But if they do not get enough basic protein support during the illness, they often suffer from malnutrition, thinner body shape, and worsening condition . In dogs and cats with chronic kidney disease, starvation will directly or indirectly lead to death. The worsening condition is caused by anemia, hypoxia, anorexia, and related adverse nutritional effects. Restricting protein intake causes some cats, those that do not eat enough to meet their caloric needs, to break down their own muscle, resulting in muscle loss and weight loss. This effect increases creatinine, which needs to be cleared by the kidneys. Increased creatinine plus muscle loss is often misinterpreted as worsening CKD. The correct approach should be to switch to an appropriate high-utilization protein, or better yet, consider that cats and dogs refuse to eat and can only effectively consume 50% of the meal, and choose foods with high nutrient density while considering the need to maintain the cat's or dog's appetite.
Keep the blood phosphorus concentration below the target level . Why do we always emphasize the importance of the calcium-phosphorus ratio? And even for "snacks", every piece should be careful not to let the blood phosphorus accumulate beyond the standard? First, assume that all the staple foods fed to the furry pets are balanced. Then, if unbalanced snacks are fed for a long time, the final conclusion is still unbalanced. Excessive phosphorus intake and high blood phosphorus concentrations promote progressive kidney damage (related to PTH and FGF23). When the phosphorus concentration rises above the treatment target concentration , dogs and cats with chronic kidney disease stages 2 to 4 need to be treated. Therefore, daily calcium-phosphorus balance is very important, considering that many snacks are almost full of phosphorus, leading to a very critical fact: multiple blood biochemical tests have found that all cases of kidney damage and renal failure have one thing in common: ischemic calcium, the final result of the imbalance of calcium-phosphorus ratio, causes calcium to be absorbed from the bones of cats and dogs, including the kidneys, further damaging their function, and long-term damage to bones due to imbalanced absorption.
Eliminate evil , strengthen the body, and correct anemia. Why is kidney disease so difficult to treat? It is because it affects the three internal organs: heart, spleen, and kidney. Kidney dysfunction will cause the waste in the blood to be unable to be discharged, and the accumulation of toxicity will cause damage to the five internal organs. The deeper the poison, the more serious the damage. The poison will damage various organs with the blood distribution, and more seriously form uremia. It must be combined with medicinal diet therapy to eliminate evil. The effective ancient prescription of the famous physician Bian Que can detoxify, purify blood, and promote diuresis, effectively remove excessive phosphorus ions in the blood, and can reduce the creatinine content in the blood. It can eliminate organic phosphorus ( phosphorus ) poisoning. When the phosphorus ion in the body increases abnormally, it is poisoning. This ancient recipe is effective in lowering phosphorus. Therefore, it has been observed in patients with hyperphosphatemia by giving them a medicated diet. It was found that continuous oral administration for more than one week can effectively lower phosphorus. It can also speed up the clearance of creatinine in the blood, so it can detoxify and purify the blood. The food for cats and dogs with renal failure should focus on expelling evil and strengthening the body. At the same time, it should strengthen the body and correct anemia. This type of case is anemic and emaciated, which is due to insufficient yin. The material cannot be nourished by qi and blood. Yin-nourishing and blood-nourishing drugs must be added to each prescription, such as angelica and wolfberry. However, it should be noted that cases of kidney damage often affect the rise and fall of the middle jiao, so the dosage must be appropriately controlled. At the same time, coarse grains, melons, green leafy vegetables, and specific meats are beneficial to promoting defecation, lowering blood lipids, lowering cholesterol, etc.
If it is difficult to feed, eat small meals frequently, 3-4 meals are also fine. Small meals frequently, and the amount of food should not be too large is the principle. Generally, cats and dogs with kidneys will be dysregulated by hormones. Hormone treatment is the most common Western medicine. After drug injection, they often have hyperphagia, hyperhydration, polyuria, and red tongue. However, after continuous medication, the pulse is often thin and floating, and the pulse is first strong and then weak. This is a practice of forcibly damaging yin and consuming yang. It is stable at first, and then recurring in the next 1-2 weeks. It is mainly due to the deficiency of yin and the hyperactivity of fire after medication. The mild ones are emaciated, with dry hair, bad breath and poor appetite, and the severe ones have oral ulcers and cannot eat. The rescue should nourish yin and reduce fire, and try to adjust the food form that is suitable for the absorption of kidney cats and dogs.
Improve gastrointestinal symptoms Cats and dogs with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease often have gastrointestinal complications, including decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, uremic stomatitis and halitosis , gastrointestinal bleeding, diarrhea and hemorrhagic colitis. The treatment of these gastrointestinal symptoms mainly focuses on improving uremia and gastritis. When there is no other way, veterinarians generally use antiemetics such as antiemetics. However, in the long run, strengthening the foundation is the key. Diet therapy needs to consider the benefits to the spleen and stomach, nourishing the yang of the three internal organs, and not reducing the yin of the three internal organs, so as to harmonize the proportions of nature and taste. Cats and dogs with kidney failure will first go to the veterinarian for examination. The examination report may show complications such as anemia, pancreatitis, uremia, etc. Many cat and dog cases believe that cat and dog kidney problems cannot be cured. Even in human science, 2 out of 10 people have kidney problems. Western medicine has a quick effect and has its advantages, but intravenous drip therapy, diuretics, and subcutaneous water are also double -edged swords. Steroids can indeed quicklycontrol , but for traditional Chinese medicine, steroids are yang-heat drugs. Long-term use will help yang generate heat and consume true yin. Clinically, they often cause symptoms of excessive heat and toxicity, or excessive fire due to yin deficiency, such as skin boils, thirst, dry throat, hunger, red face or acne, irritability, insomnia, sweating, etc. Heat and toxicity are combined with dampness, and the treatment is mainly to clear away heat and dampness, purge fire and detoxify, or nourish yin and reduce fire. The body of a cat or dog with kidney problems is like a "weak-power battery". Intravenous drips damage the yin and consume the yang, increase the body's coldness, and further consume the last power in the "weak-power battery". Many treatment methods in Western medicine are "energy-consuming". But this is not to say that Western medicine is bad. Western medicine is not wrong in its techniques, but the measures can help healthy cats and dogs in the early stages, such as taking erythropoietin, using H2 blockers, antiemetics, and subcutaneous injections. However, when the kidneys of cats and dogs are already weak, it is unavoidable to avoid oral ulcers in the later stages and leave with injections. Long-term use of steroids causes organ dysfunction, and additional medication is needed to regulate the qi, blood, yin and yang of the organs to accelerate the restoration of balance and prevent recurrence of the disease. For the side effects caused by immunosuppressants, we use methods such as strengthening the spleen and stomach, replenishing qi and nourishing blood, soothing the liver and promoting diuresis, and benefiting the kidneys and relieving turbidity to adjust them according to the dialectical evidence. Therefore, parents should pay attention. If the body is already very weak, they should be more cautious in choosing for their pets. Stubborn nephrotic syndrome proteinuria, this type of people have almost all used steroids and immunosuppressants, and there are side effects and difficulties in reducing medication. At this time, adding Chinese medicine adjustment is a good breakthrough. Through the unique viscera and blood conditioning of Chinese medicine, it can not only improve proteinuria and kidney function, but also stabilize the rebound when reducing Western medicine. Taking human patients as an example, after a period of conditioning, steroids were successfully reduced and the stage of discontinuation was reached. Immunosuppressants were no longer used, and proteinuria continued to decrease. The function of the adrenal cortex is related to the function of kidney qi in traditional Chinese medicine. There will be a situation of kidney qi deficiency and kidney yang deficiency. At this time, it is necessary to add kidney-tonifying and yang-enhancing drugs on the basis of dialectical medication. Generally, cinnamon and aconite with strong pungent and hot properties should not be used. Instead, drugs with mild kidney yang tonic properties should be selected, such as dodder, polygonum multiflorum, eucommia, chuanxiongduan, and mistletoe, which can replenish the kidney essence and help to temporarily fill the insufficient adrenal cortex function. The integration of Western micro-science and Eastern macro-science is actually the best way to treat the kidneys. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine and nutrition, it is believed that if you want to nourish and replenish Qi (add energy) while nourishing the heart and strengthening the spleen, if the body is already very weak, you must be careful about what you take. Even if it is willing to eat some of the right food , there is still hope.

Each formula of Fuzzywuzzycare has been analyzed from micro to macro, with strict selection of herbal ingredients, proportion adjustment, and herbal clinical verification, because we believe that the most important thing is "eating with confidence"!
Special note: Many "dehumidifying" formulas on the Internet that are said to be suitable for dogs contain red beans.
But please note that it is dangerous for dogs to eat adzuki beans!
Although adzuki beans are generally safe for humans.
However, adzuki beans are potentially harmful to cats and dogs.
Toxicity! Adzuki beans contain a natural toxin called erythrotoxin, which can be harmful to cats and dogs. In high concentrations, erythrotoxin can cause symptoms of poisoning, including vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and nervous system problems. Therefore, please do not feed adzuki beans or foods containing adzuki beans directly to cats and dogs.
Adzuki beans also contain "cannabinoids". After cats and dogs eat adzuki beans, cannabinoids will have adverse effects on their nervous system, which may cause symptoms such as drowsiness, loss of appetite, muscle weakness, difficulty breathing and central nervous system depression. In severe cases, cannabinoid poisoning may lead to coma and death. Certain components in adzuki beans may cause damage to the kidneys. Long-term or large-scale consumption of adzuki beans may lead to kidney disease and renal failure.
【Intimately launched】 Considering the problem that in addition to dogs with renal failure, there are also cats with renal failure who are unwilling to eat
We specially allow fresh food packs to be served with [energizing five-flavor hand-shredded chicken], which is loved by picky cats with kidney failure by nearly 95%!!!
Adding food to entice cats to eat makes them willing to eat, and most importantly, eat the right food .
