Protein in urine.....what does it mean? I took my dog to the vet because he was drinking a lot of water. So they did a urine and blood test and it came back with elevated levels of protein in his urine. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what it might mean for his future health? |
All I know is that my friend had elevated protein in her urine while she was pregnant, and she got gestational diabetes after they found the protein, so I dunno what that means?? Hopefully you can get some help here! |
I would ask your vet to do kidney test . |
Losing Protein Presently, my sister's 7 yr old, 3 lb. Yorkie has had blood work and urine tests which show a loss of protein. The second round of testing, just done, shows a worsening of the problem even though the vet prescribed medication and a special food. The vet is contacting a specialist to determine the next course of action. This tiny Yorkie has lost 12 oz. and will not eat the special food. She is very fragile to begin with. Don't know what treatment will now be prescribed. |
The increased thirst and protein in the urine are symptomatic of diabetes. |

Hmmm. Thought it meant Kidney issues? But could just be bladder related or something else. I would ask the vet and run more tests in a week or so. there are false positives possible in all tests. That *is* what my cat is like, and he has kidney disease. I give him fluid injections every other day. Not sure if that works with dogs but we have been doing this for 1.5 years and Tigger is over 19 :eek: http://www.healthydogs.com/Health.htm |
