074 Acute Kidney Injury in Dogs and Cats

Kidney injuries can happen suddenly and without warning—especially in dogs and cats. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a medical emergency that requires quick recognition and treatment to give pets the best chance of recovery. In this episode of “Your Vet Wants You to Know,” we’re joined by veterinary internal medicine specialist Dr. Simona Buoncompagni, who shares her expertise in nephrology and dialysis to help pet owners understand this critical condition.   📸 See the Episode Extras: Read the blog post and learn more about AKI on the website—visit YourVetWantsYouToKnow.com for additional resources! 📍 Find a Veterinary Dermatologist Near You: Visit the resources page to find a veterinary internal medicine or critical care specialist near you. 🔗 Learn more about LeadER Animal Specialty Hospital: Schedule an appointment with Dr. Buoncompangi or the other veterinary specialists in Boca Raton or Cooper City, FL. Our vision is for Your Vet Wants You to Know to be a resource for veterinarians to improve client communication by introducing a discussion about a common topic during the vet visit, then directing the client to a reliable source of engaging, understandable, and accessible information.  By doing so, we strive for: 1) increased pet health literacy among pet owners,  2) improved partnership between clients and the veterinary team,  3) improved medical outcomes for pets, and  4) improved quality of life and efficiency for veterinarians.   Help support our mission through BUY ME A COFFEE: https://buymeacoffee.com/yourvet Connect with Your Vet!
