Hello everyone,
Yesterday we were at the vet and he ran a second blood test to verify his creatinine levels. Two months ago his levels were 1.6 and yesterday was 2.1.
The vet said it is still nothing to be alarmed but we should act with care. He prescribed a low protein diet for a month and a follow-up in 4 weeks where he will run another blood test.
Ultrasound was made and nothing out of the ordinary came out. Urine is still to be checked.
My cat (Richard Parker, "the great Catsby") is a two year old British short-hair male. Unfortunately he eats mostly kibble he is reluctant to eat wet food, although I keep offering him several flavors and brands (we live in Germany, Animonda and Miamor are the to-go brands, grain-free) and his dry food is either Acana or Applaws. I have read that low prot diets for a cat this young is not good, but what are the alternatives? also, it is for four weeks so far, nothing permanent.
I don't know what to think and I am sad to no end at the moment, although everyone tells me to take it easy, but as you all understand, that's rather impossible when it comes to one of your beloved furry little ones.
Any advice, input, question, will be highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot and happy paws
