I thought I would post the results of the blood tests that just came back for my 18 yr old female cat Pappo. She started limping about 5 months ago and it has gotten worse from there. You can read more about that here
Anyway, I was hoping that someone could shed some light on the subject. Typing the entire sheet would take forever, so I'll just mention the ones that came in high or low, or ones that might be important:
Sodium: 166 (HIGH) **Reference Range 145-158**
Na/K Ratio: 31 (LOW) **Reference Range 32-41**
Osmolality, Calculated: 350 (HIGH) **Reference Range 299-330**
BUN:36 (high normal) **Reference Range 14-36**
Potassium: 5.4 (high normal) **Reference Range 3.4-5.6**
Magnessium: 2.3 (high normal) **Ref. Range 1.5-2.5**
Phosphorus: 5.6 **Ref. Range: 2.4-8.2**
Creatinine: 1.3 **Ref. Ratio 0.6-2.4**
BUN/Creatine Ratio: 28 **Ref. Ratio 4-33**
