Hi everyone,
This is my first post! I wanted to ask a general health question about my two male (desexed) Bengals (ages 5&6).
Lately, I've noticed that some days one or recently both if them, have a mild sick fur appearance. You know the look cats get when they are unwell where it is tufty, oily, stands up etc.
They both seem perfectly fine though. And when taken to the vet for this reason, the urinalysis and pathology came back with creatinine levels at the highest end of normal. But being Bengals on a high protein diet (tins with no ingredients except meat, and then BARF sometimes too) - this I've read can be a normal result for an exotic breed on this type of diet.
I'm not sure this is something to worry about. Maybe their just grubby or getting old. I don't know. What do you think?
