Popsie saw the vet today because he was eating good but losing weight. The vet said he could have an IBD causing malnutrition but she suggested we check his kidney funtion. He had a urinanalysis done and his urine is diluted. They did a blood panel to check the numbers.
BUN is 51 normal range is 16-36
CREA is 3.6 normal range is 0.8-2.4
The vet told me he probably only has about a fourth of his kidney function left.
This happened so fast. In April his BUN was normal and his CREA was only 2.5 He was prescribed blood pressure medicine because I guess it can help increase the blood flow to the kidney so they function a bit better. I need to take him back in a month to see where he is at.
