Default Feline kidney disease

My 16 year old cat was recently diagnosed with kidney disease. The vet had
me switch his food to Hills K/D, and told me to give him a baby aspirin
every other day. He doesn't seem to get filled up on the cat food, and the
vet suggested that I not feed him canned food.

Fortunately, all his blood work came back normal except his BUN and
Creatinine which were high as expected. Also, his urine was less
concentrated because he was drinking more water. And, he had lost about 2
pounds.

My question is, besides changing his diet, is there anything else I can do?
I bought some liquid vitamins and give those a couple of days per week. Has
anyone else had experience with feline kidney disease? Are there any
home-made cat food recipes that people have tried? He seems to like the
yellow portion of a hard boiled egg.

Thanks ---- Penny
