Can anyone offer any advice. My cat turned 19 today. He has kidney problems for some time. The other day he pulled his right paw up and fell over on his side, I took him to the vet and she kept him on a drip for 24 yrs
She took blood and the results showed his BUN at 40 (range 4 - 11) and his creatine at 522 (range 27 - 186), his phospate was normal. His blood pressure was very high at 300. The vet gave him heparin and vetergesic injections. I bought him home last night. She has put him on instin tablets at quarter of a 5 mg tablet and fortekor at 2.5 mg, one tablet a day, he has been on these tablets for 2 and half days. When I bought him home he seemed fine, today he slept a lot in the afternoon, didnt want to get up, now he has got up, wailed, and slumped down by his tray on his front, I am not sure what is wrong. Could his blood pressure have come down too fast? Could it be a side effect of the tablets. He really looks ill. The vet was a standby one and is 20 miles away and the journey really upset him. He is due to see his local vet tomorrow but they are not open over the bank holiday today. Can anyone tell me what could be causing this. Thankyou.
