The present study shows the clinical and biochemical findings of CKD and proposed therapeutic recommendations for a geriatric cat. The cat was bought to the SAQ Teaching Veterinary Hospital of Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (CVASU) with a history of abnormal drinking and urination behaviour for few weeks along with sudden abdominal swelling and debilitation. The most predominant clinical findings recorded in that 8 years old cat were dullness with recumbency, polyuria with dysuria, ascites, polydipsia, paleness of mucosa, anorexia, and bloody diarrhoea. After haematological and biochemical analysis, according to the International Renal Interest Society (IRIS) staging system, the cat was diagnosed with stage III CKD. Though the prognosis is poor, proper medication and dietary supplements were suggested to increase the lifespan of the affected cat.
