My demi had periodontal disease at 4 she lost 27 teeth by a bc dentist when they usually can save teeth so i know what blood work looks like for periodontal disease

If kidneys the bun and creatinine and bun/creatinine ratio so sounds like those were the three values that were high?

If creatinine is high then that is a bigger problem than if bun is high

If it is kidneys please join K9KIDNEY on yahoogroups.com immediately they know alot about this

How old is your dog?

I don't have the readings yet because the vet was still in surgery when I went to see Fizz. They are going to visit with us when Mike and I go back. They believe that we will be able to take care of this...Vet said that directly. He also said he believes we can still save his teeth...feels very strongly about this. Fizz-gig is between 5 and 7 years old. Don't know for sure as he is a foundling. I posted on this a month ago. I have been feeding him Iams because that is what Marvin is on. Vet said even after we get this under control we will look at different food for him. I will say again that my vet is a wonderful vet with a genuine love for animals. So I feel that we as a team will give Fizz good care. I will post later with readings and all. Thanks for the support. It helps to know that you guys are here.

PS what does bc stand for

BUN 88 mg/dl
Creatine 2.5 mg/dl
Phosphorus 7.3 mg/dl
Amylase 2311 u/l
cholesterol 386 mg/dl

These were the readings that made the vet decide to wait to nueter. He has complete faith that we can take care of him. Not the worst he has ever seen...so it is a better chance to fix this/work with long term care.

glad he was being safe for your baby - check out that yahoogroup and post that info

there should be normal values on the blood work too to compare it too as well but sounds like you have a good vet and trust him that is great
