Hi, my kitty is nearly 16. Her kidney function readings have been getting worse:
Glucose 76 (72 - 175 mg/dL 89 66)
BUN 41 (16 - 37 mg/dL H 28 26)
Creatinine 1.8 (0.9 - 2.5 mg/dL 1.2 1.0)
are her most recent readings. My vet has recommended a low protein diet, but then when I surf the web it seems that not everyone agrees with this approach.
Does anyone here have experience with low protein diets? Do they help much, and will your kitty even eat a low protein food? Any tips?
Thanks in advance!
