    Second test in 2 weeks and SDMA jumped from 18.9 to 22, but creatine dropped from 2.6 to 2.5 and usg stayed at 1.020. Does anyone else have similar SDMA experience?

    Crazy water intake increase

    I have copies of every test. I meant everything else but the trace amounts of protein were all unremarkable. The protein was the only abnormality that the test revealed. Antech ( company that ran the test for vet) indicated trace amounts of protein were indicative of ckd and he should be...

    Crazy water intake increase

    Thank you for that info. His last urinalysis in July had trace amounts of protein but otherwise fine. Nothing has changed in diet or lifestyle that I can see that would contribute to such a drastic increase in water. What questions should I be asking the vet?

    Crazy water intake increase

    My boy had bloodwork done in July and SDMA level was 16.7 ( mild) creatine 1.9. At that time he went from drinking about a half cup of water a day for 8 years to 1 1/4 in July. Vet said probably due to hot weather and we'll monitor. In the last week he is drinking upwards of 2 cups a day. We see...

    Ibd weight loss

    No he's the right weight for his size. He's 11 years old. The vet was just at my home and said he seems really healthy but 2 weeks later the fur/ dandruff thing and his continued weight loss bother me. Vet wasn't concerned about it. We've done 3 ultrasounds in 1.5 years. It's been 6 months...

    Spikey coat / staring coat

    My boy was diagnosed with possible IBD about a year ago. He is on Budesonide after trying all the usual drugs and it has been working. He is on a chicken only diet and that has really helped. Did that about six months back. So for about a year his coat has been spikey and weird. He's always had...

    I'm giving Max buprenorphine for pain. Not sure if you've tried that. My guess is you've tried everything possible. I'm so sorry
