My sweet Emily, will be 14 this month. She had an elevated BUN level of 46 during the summer, prompting vet to put her on K/D diet.
Last week her BUN level is up to 112, but creatinine is normal. All other levels are normal.
She tested positive for occult fecal blood, but today's ultrasound shows no abdominal tumors or ulcers which would cause this.
Ultrasound does show some nodules on her liver, and one on her spleen (which is totally unrelated to the BUN level, and could be nothing, according to the vet.)
She was on Deramax for a few months, but vet says this should not elevate BUN levels.
We don't know what to do next. She eats well, and poops healthy daily. Her energy level is crazy strong lately.
Aside from some mild demetia (staring at walls and pacing occasionally) she shows no distress.
What direction should we go next?
Anyone with any experience in this, your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
