My cat Bella had hyperthroidysm last year. She has had all her blood work all along the way to make sure things were still looking good. This Oct would be her one year for her blood work, but I decided to take her sooner because she seemed like she was loosing some weight. But she has had some hard times with food, all her life until I finally think I found something she can handle without throwing up or diahrrea. I finally found food she is tolerating well, but once in a while if she gets a hold of the other cats food, then we have a problem. So this is what I thought had happened. And when she vomit or has diahrrea this will take from your body, so this is why I thougth she had lost some weight. So to be on the safe side I took her early for her blood work. Her blood work came back today and it was excellent. The only problem was her urine, has a +2 protein. Is this a number to be alarmed about? Should the protein levels be 0? The vet suggested some tests, but putting her threw all this is going to stress her out, and this to me creates problems. The vet is not concerned about the weight she is at, but if she would lose more then this would be a problem. I had gotten some kitten food to try to get the weight back on her. She eats good. I was trying to read up on this protein issue but can't seen to come up with much. Could it be something so minor that happend when she got sick? Does high protein come from the food you feed? The same as a human, the doctors are always suggesting test, just trying to find something wrong with you. And doing this seems like the animal or human goes down hill fast by testing and testing. So I am thinking because of the excellent blood work, she is ok. I would think if something is wrong somewhere on the blood work the levels would show something. Has anyone had a cat with high proteins that can shed some light on this issue. I would appreciate any thoughts. Thank you
