In June, my 5yr old cat had labwork done at a wellness visit. Her BUN was slightly high (39; normal range 16-37). The CREA was normal (2.2; normal range 0.9-2.3). The SDMA was 12 (normal 0-14). Her regular Vet wasn’t worried and said to recheck her labs in a month or two. Another Vet (where my friend works) suggested an abdominal ultrasound & internal medicine consult.
We rechecked her labs last week and her vet said they’re normal (CREA 2.0, BUN 30).
So, he said this pretty much puts the kidney question to rest and we can recheck in a year.
The other vet still suggests an an ultrasound. Idk what to think??? I want to do right by my fur baby.
The ultrasound would require them to shave her belly though.
