Chido is now with BUN at 50 but I have been told it is normal when they are in homemade diet. We are giving him sub-k 3 times a week. I also heard than reducing protein a lot is not healthy, it is better to keep phosphorus low in the diet.

Chido had AIHA about a month ago and he is still in azathioprine every other day, even though his red blood cells have been normal since he was discharged from the hospital more than 3 weeks ago (over 45). Ask more questions to figure it out what to do with yours.

They still do need low protein, but yes, keeping phosphorous down is very important!
