The only meds she is on is for her thyroid. I also give her 1-2 drops of milk thistle 2x/day because she had liver failure (fully recovered) about 2 years ago.

Always mix some water into their food, even into the canned food. The more water they ingest the better their kidneys keep working. been there...several times.
We also give sub-cutaneous water injections to our one kitty about 2x week to keep her from any downward slide, since she has damaged kidney function already from a crisis several years ago. This keeps her doing well. But I always mix a tablespoon of water into each of the kitties meals anyway.
Personally, I have never been impressed with the ingredients in the 'special' kidney health diets that vets sell for high prices.
