Lucy was diagnosed with kidney disease a week or so ago. She's 13.
She is now on k/d food. The dry stuff, which she likes but is struggling to keep down consistently.
Today I bought a few cans of the wet k/d to see if she'll eat it.
Also stopped at the vet's and got the printout of the bloodwork. First number is as of 7/24/21; number in parentheses is what it was in 2018.
Creatinine: 3.8 (1.8)
BUN: 53 (27)
BUN:Creatinine ratio: 13.9 (15)
Phosphorous: 7.3 (4.8)
From what I've read, these numbers indicate Stage 3.
Anyone have any thoughts?
