Although kidney disease is degenerative, some medications and dietary alternations can help your cat stay healthier longer. Make sure your cat has plenty of water and is eating. Use merc sol, nat mur and phosphorus as homeopathic treatments, and take your cat to a veterinarian when things get bad.

Dietary Treatment
-
Kidney failure will be eased by dietary treatment. Make sure the cat is getting plenty of water, as it will be passing urine more frequently. Try to keep the cat eating by feeding it warm white meat, fish or scrambled eggs.
Homeopathic Helpers
-
Merc sol, nat mur or phosphorose are recommended remedies for kidney disease, according to A-Z of Cat Health and First Aid. Feed the cat one tablet three times a day for a week, but repeat for a second week if the problem persists.
Initial Veterinary Treatment
-
Veterinarians may use intravenous fluids initially to help the fluid loss problems associated with kidney failure. This will have to be repeated during bad spells for the cat.
Later Veterinary Treatment
-
Veterinarians can prescribe antibiotics, vitamins and other drugs that you can't purchase over the counter. These will help with blood flow and help keep the cat from vomiting.
Euthanasia
-
Although cats can live a good life for some time after being diagnosed with kidney disease, they will eventually deteriorate. At that time, the owner should consider euthanasia to end the cat's suffering.
