So they did an ultra sound on his kidneys, looked good. So next a urine test. The kidneys are working but not up to speed as they should. They are doing a culture to look for bacteria, or infection in his urine. So he is spending the night at OSU and we will be heading back in the am. They are sending him to internal medicine unit first thing. We could have brought him home then took him back, but if we left him, he was sure to be hydrated for his tests in the am. So what are his problems? Not sure, could be one of 2 things, an infection in his kidneys or early early kideney diease. The doc seemed to think both were not a major problem to fix. But we will not know for at least another 17 hours or so.
Hope to have better news on Thurs.
Thanks again for all of your thoughts and prayers.

PS: Ever notice how slow time goes when yo are worrying? |
that is a great vet school - dh graduated from there - GOOOO BUCKS - i think he will be ok and good for you for getting to the bottom of it - was any other blood work off at all or only bun and creatinine? Was there protein in the urine did they say? I will pray everything will be ok for the little Buckeye - hang in there but he is definitely in good hands with that vet school
my guess is protein was too high and at least you are getting to the bottom of it now and can get him on a low protein diet and reverse things as he is young - there is a great yahoo group you should join tonight k9kidney at yahoogroups.com they are very sharp and know alot about kidney values so you can get some more info
