normal or unusual reading ...high bun for raw fed cat

BUN will normally run on the high side of normal for a raw fed cat. This seems a little high to me, even for a raw eater. could she have been dehydrated before the blood draw? That could cause the BUN to be high, since the other numbers look good.
What did the Vet say about them? They know you feed raw, right?

homemade following chicken recipe from TCS ...without bone.
everything is good but the bun :/ how do i keep the bun down? egg whites?
i dont think shes dehydrated because she pee's a frequent amount of time...and also not ruling out kidney problems (because one kidney is smaller than the other)
but so far our vet has not / does not want to diagnose us with renal

Can you be more specific? What recipe? High BUN isn't evidence of CKD. I would simply restest again in a few months, but you should double check that your recipe is complete if you're adding your own supplements and not using alnutrin. Also it's good to feed at least 3 proteins, so you should look at adding more to her rotation.
