Beau and his kidneys

This is Beau, he is a Burmese cat who is almost 10 years old.  He is a regular visitor to the Sutton Courtenay cat clinic.  He was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease last year.  He initially had normal blood pressure, but last week we diagnosed him with hypertension (high blood pressure).  After a week on tablets he is feeling better and his blood pressure has returned to normal.  He is a little naughty with his medication, but his owner is giving him the tablets with the use of a pill popper.

We still need Beau to gain a little bit more weight, but he is much happier than he was a few months ago.  We will keep you updated on his progress.
