kidney problems
 
my cat muffin is 16yrs old hes blind, is on medication for blood pressure and
fortekor, but just lately has put weight on making him look like a donkey each
side, has anyone experienced this, I am wondering if it is his weight because
he doesn,t get round much now, or if it is another problem, his mother is 18,
and is still fine(touch wood) I love them dearly, they have been with us
forever......

Please contact your vet ASAP: Muffin could have fluid build up and/or
possible heart problems:
