Expert Answer

Feline polycystic kidney disease is managed as follows: 1) regularly check kidney function and other blood markers; if the cat shows no symptoms, usually no treatment is needed. 2) Some cats develop secondary infection and need antibiotics such as fluoroquinolones or clindamycin. 3) If only one kidney has cysts, surgical removal can be considered.
