Cathy's Daisy has that as does my Olivia.
Here is some information on the UPC test: Urine protein to creatinine ratio |
Thanks Linda
I'm on my way to the vet to get the food and to get a copy of the blood and urine test. I think I am confusing some of the terms and making myself scared. I know he has protein in his urine.. The vet said two out of three results were out of normal range. He said it was very early and diet should be all I need. I retest in 6 months.. Unless there are signs such as vomiting, difficulty utinating etc
I think I thought the protein in iron was the same as protein loss.. I think after doing more reading its not. So may be not as bad as I feared.
I will be back later.. Thanks to all of you for your advice
