RobinM Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Bobbi a 9.5 year old brood momma (one of FreddyGirl's girls) has started peeing in the house. Nancy took her urine in to check for a UTI. It came back negative for UTI BUT her billirubin was .6 and her creatinine was 2.4. The vet (A NON GREYHOUND VET) said it was elevated and wantes more testing done. After all the tests get run, Nancy will have everything sent to her grey savvy vet and make some decsions. Are the numbers above out of whack for a greyhound?

Burpdog Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 (edited) Not sure about the billirubin but the creatine wouldn't bother me if the BUN was reasonable. What was the BUN? In an older dog, I'd culture the urine and put her on antibiotics. I've seen many a grey harbor an infection never found..... how are her teeth?

Guest ss556 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Alan's creatinine is 2.7 (high) and his total bilirubin is .4 (high) - as per his latest labs. We do know he has kidney disease. Nancy should have a urine culture as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGreys Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I would ask for a culture as well. That creat is a little high, but like others have said, I would ask for the BUN.
