Got a blood test done for my 2-year old British shorthair as a pre-checkup for dental cleaning since he's been having some dental issues. The result shows that there is some indication of kidney deficiencies. The vet suggests putting my cat on a Hill's Science C/D diet but I have concerns about switching to this diet as it contains starch and grains that my cat is not used to. He's been on a completely grain-free diet for over a year. He eats mostly raw food with some canned food occasionally.
Here are some numbers from the report:
Does anyone have a similar experience with feeding a raw diet and abnormal blood test result? Should I be concerned about switching my cat's diet as my vet suggests?
Here are some numbers from the report:
- IDEXX SDMA: 15ug/dL (normal range: 0-14ug/dL)
- Creatinine: 214umol/L which converts to 2.42mg/dL (normal range is 80-203umol/L)
- BUN: 10.7mmol/L which is right in the normal range
