rascalsmom Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 UPCR test is back: .99!! The vet advises keeping him on k/d, and rechecking blood values and urine in 4-6 weeks. She feels his teeth being clean may have a positive effect on the kidney values. However, if the kidney values come into normal range, how do I know if it's due to diet, or clean teeth?? I'd prefer a regular diet for him. The rx food is terribly expensive, and he's acting like he's starving since being on it.... Quote Phoebe (Belle's Sweetpea) adopted 9/2/13.

Burpdog Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 If I remember right, his numbers weren't that bad at all. Why keep him on a k/d when a senior food would do just fine. Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rascalsmom Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) If I remember right, his numbers weren't that bad at all. Why keep him on a k/d when a senior food would do just fine. I think it was the creatinine number in the bloodwork that she's concerned about. It was 2.6. I've sent all the info to OSU, waiting to hear what their opinion is.
