First off, I want to say I love this site, and its usually one of my first resources I go to when I have a specific cat question. On Saturday, I took my two cats to the vet for a checkup. Since my older cat, Bentley, is 7 - I had the vet do a complete blood workup for him. Both cats got good bills of health. Today, Bentley's blood work came back. All levels are good, except for the BUN. The vet wasn't sure what was causing this but wasn't too concerned since all the rest of the levels were normal. He thought it might be that Bentley's teeth need cleaning (which is scheduled) or that Bentley is just eating well, which is also possible because Bentley is a very skittish cat, and has always been underweight. Its just within the last few months that he has really calmed down, has gained weight and is perfect right now. After Bentley's teeth are cleaned, the vet wants to wait a few months, and check the BUN levels again.
Does this make sense? Every thing I found on the internet talks about high BUN levels, plus creotine levels = badness. No information about the BUN levels by themselves.
Thank You for reading this!
