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?

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...

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...

My cat is on budesonide for suspected ibd. Biopsy has been declined as as treatment is going to be the same the vet said. He has pain and I'm giving him buprenorphine. I cannot find any other posts of buprenorphine given to treat ibd pain. Is there anyone else needing this for their baby? Maybe...

After contacting animalbiome they replied and recommended waiting until Max has stabilized. I did send off the sample for testing and should have results in another week or 2. We started budesonide last week. He had a bad reaction to the prednisalone. Now the vet doubled the dose this week. .5...

My boy Max has had 3 ultrasounds in a year and I've been told by the surgeon he believes it's IBD and doesn't recommend a biopsy. We have tried pred, tylosin,metronidazole and now a few days on kittybiome gut restore. He's getting worse it seems. Now he's hiding intermittently and ravenous all...

I'm trying to figure this IBD thing out and I'm finding answers here thank goodness. I'm wondering if anyone else noticed a rough looking coat while taking prednisalone? He started 5 days ago and almost immediately his luxurious coat looks dull and it's matting . Never has had this. . Hes...

Max, my 11 year old male, was just diagnosed with IBD via 2 ultrasounds within 6 months to rule out other diagnosis. He was prescribed prednisone. I'm worried about the side effects of prednisone. I have a friend who used Slv3 probiotic and waited 2 weeks and has never needed to use the...

My boy has had loose stool for a week now and yesterday it turned to diarrhea. But only small amounts not commiserate with food intake. He has had a lipoma near his back leg for a while ( 9 months or so) and now I think I'm feeling little bumps across his belly. He doesn't mind when I touch them...

Hi everyone, My 10 year old boy had an ultrasound yesterday and nodules were found in or around or on his spleen and liver (not sure I remember location) it was said they are very small and shouldn't be causing discomfort. He does seem uncomfortable that was the reasoning for the ultrasound. In...

My boy had an ultrasound in June and pancreatic swelling diagnosed pancreatitus. Recently I found a lump near his back leg in his belly. The vet did a needle biopsy and said it was a benign lipoma. I have been wondering why it didn't show up on the ultrasound in June? Aren't lipomas slow...

I have two girls I've been caring for since they were weaned. Both are spayed. I usually give them the Bayer worm medicine but wondered if there was a better medicine that doesn't require a prescription and not expensive? I usually do it in the early fall. I need to put in their food.

The last month the two ferals I've been caring for since they could walk ( 3 years) started only showing up for breakfast. They have looked fine and eat a very big breakfast so I've not been too concerned. Even though I miss seeing them. Last week the one I'm very close to started leaving food...

Over the last few months my baby has had episodes of lethergy. Just not quite right. He is FLUTD so its always a consideration. I had a chem panel and CBC bloodwork last month. Completely normal. Nothing even mildly out of range. A few weeks ago he stopped eating for a day after vomiting twice...

I just put revolution plus on my feral cat. As I started to squeeze she moved and none of it went on her skin and I now have no idea where on her it actually went...possibly back of neck and down side....I don't know. I cut the tip so it will go quickly. She ran and I'm terrified I've hurt her...
