Please keep Pixie in your prayers. She has been acting very depressed and lethargic. She has been eating ok but has had no pep.

In October I took her in for a possible UTI and had blood work and urinalysis done. I did not see her regular vet as I needed her seen right away. At that time her BUN had doubled to 27 from 17 the year before. The vet said her Creatinine was ok so he wasn't concerned. This is the vet I usually will not see because I don't think he is very thorough.

Since she has been acting very depressed I wanted her checked out again. I took her to one of the two vets I use on Tuesday. I took in a urine sample and had blood work redone. They also took her blood pressure and it was high and erratic so they wanted me to take her to the Animal Emergency to get a doppler blood pressure reading.
Her urine showed protein of 2+ and her blood work showed increased PVC's and her TSH was low.

Based on the above my vet ran a urine protein -creatinine yesterday. That came back with protein in urine. She said after I got the BP done she would call me and probably order an abdominal ultrasound at the specialty clinic and referral to a specialist.
I took her for the doppler blood pressure this morning and it was 240 mm-HG. Not sure what that all means but the tech said it was high and they were faxing the report to my vet.
I am not sure what this all means but the vet said possible early kidney disease.

If anyone has any similar experience I would like to hear it. I am so worried about her. Not only is she my baby she was a gift from my late husband. He called her his perfect Pixie. Thanks
