Nikki may have Protein losing nephropathy I took Nikki to the vet today because he vomited and had diarrhea once on Tuesday night (couldn't get in yesterday due to being totally snowed in). He also has a strange odor about him some times for a day or two. I wanted to get him checked out anyway. My vet did a thorough exam in him and here's the results.
He is blind in his right eye, Bun is a little elevated , Creatinine is high normaal, lungs and heart sounded good. He is concentrating his urine but has protein in it. They are running a Urine Protein Creatinine Ratio test to check to see if he has PLN. She said he is has chronic renal disease. If he has PLN he will need to go on KD food and a blood pressure medicine. So please keep Nikki in your prayers. Also if you have any experience with PLN I would appreciate any input. Thanks |
