Hi, Jan,
Did your vet check for hyperthyroidism? I did a little web surfing, and read
that hyperthyroidism will cause an enlarged thyroid, and also increases the
*** supply to the kidneys, though I don't know whether that will actually
enlarge the kidneys. Here are a couple of web sites on it:

Something that causes enlargement of the kidneys is Polycystic Kidney Disease
(PKD). I haven't seen anything about it causing enlargement in the thyroid,
but maybe your kitty has multiple problems? Anyway, here is a web site that
has a whole section of links to information on PKD:

Good luck with your kitty, I hope she gets better soon. Let us know what you
find out.
