I'm concerned. She says it could be due to dehydration or a high protein diet. We are going to test again when he goes in for his dental, but I am worried.

Does anyone have any experience with elevated levels? I've been doing a bit of googling, but was hoping someone here had some advice. I just want to make sure I'm doing what is best for him...
I'd be concerned too with BUN elevations in a young dog. I'll keep Couver in my thoughts. I probably wouldn't rest with the "we'll test next time" thing, and would take it further.
