Her kidneys almost failed about a year and a half ago. We weren't sure she was going to make it, but she recovered. Since then, her BUN has been monitored and she takes lotensin twice a day to keep the proteins out of her urine. The vet said that the BUN numbers were a little elevated after her last blood test last week....not anything to be over concerned about, but suggested decreasing her protein. Unfortunately, this little dog I have will not EVER eat dry food, so finding one that's low-protein in a canned variety is proving to be a challenge!!
