Also, things may have advanced since we had to face this.
Please let us know how you make out, and know that you will both be in my thoughts! (((hugs))) |
Aww, that's so sad! I came back from the vet and the ultrasound came back clean! They have no clue why his BUN is high, probably a high protein diet. He loves his Royal Canine Kidney kibble so we're just going to keep that up just in case. Very relieved.
