so me, kingston, v8 and my hubby just left the vets office. v8 was being examined because of his behavior changes over the last few months (not being able to jump up to our bed anymore... crying at night if the lights are off.. being a little grumpier than usual, etc). anywhoo.. i guess i was expecting an xray and "oh he's fine" or something but instead we got "well his creatinine is slightly elevated and this could possibly be the beginning of renal failure". we are going to get a urine sample first to get a little more info and then i guess we'll know more. i was asking the vet about the if we should go through with adopting a third kitty or not (we had been considering this recently) and she said "if it were me and i had one cat that stresses easily and another with possible renal failure - i wouldn't do it". then it hit me.. my cat my die? my cat might have kidney disease?! what?
so for those of you vet techs or more experienced with this topic - normal gets as high as 2.4 right? is 2.7 almost a sure thing or is it really just maybe/maybe not? is it possible he's okay? i think i am in shock right now, i cant get out what i am trying to ask very well but i think you guys get the gist
sorry for the scattered thoughts -
