 High BUN (blood urea nitrogen)
My name is Lauren Reid and I am currently a veterinary resident in small animal internal medicine practicing at Auburn University. I am looking for Yorkies that have high BUN with normal kidney function. Apparently there are a few Yorkies out there that have high BUN for unexplained reasons. I am conducting a small study to determine the cause of elevated BUN in these seemingly normal Yorkies. Please contact me if your veterinarian has diagnosed your Yorkie with high BUN. I am only looking for Yorkies that do not have renal failure. However, it is possible your vet may have told you that elevated BUN indicates your dog has renal failure, when it may not in your Yorkie. Please reply to this post if you or someone you know has a Yorkie with high BUN. |
