Hi everyone so my pup went in for his neutering and baby teeth extractions. Along with that they did full blood work, CBC and CMP. His BUN came back high at 108 and creatinine normal. Every other lab value normal as well including liver enzymes. They want me to bring him back for a check up in two weeks to see if its still the same in order to proceed with further tests. I'm heartbroken and cried and cried last night. Wish I could switch spots. Has anyone had this with their pups if so what could it be? They're worried for a GI bleed possibly and will proceed to testing if its high in 2 weeks again. I read something online about high protein diets causing elevated BUNs and normal creatinine's. I do have him on orijen puppy which is a mostly prey diet, 80% chicken\meat etc. and 20% veggies no grains. I'm wondering if this could be it? I also top his food with a little bit of chicken and tiny bit of Parmesan with every meal or he doesnt eat. I know there's other threads on this but they are couple years old and I would like to know if there's anything updated thanks!
