An untreated UTI may affect kidney values.
Tick disease and lepto can cause this but he should have more symptoms if that is the case.
High rotein diets do increase BUN.
Kidney infection (but they tend to feel bad with that).
Old kidneys / kidney failure - but there are lots of options.
Chronic use of meds that are hard on the kidneys.
Anything making the bladder unhappy (stones).

There are a lot of possibilities. Most are vety treatable.
Don't panic.

What food is he getting? Treats?
Thanks. He is eating wellness core small breed. I am not sure what treats my mom gives him but I think chewy milk bones and when he is here him and Callie will each get a bully stick to chew on. When he was on the Beniful before I got my mom to change it would leave sticky stuff in his privet hair but sense the change it has not.
