Donating YT 30K Club Member | Cali is eating well today (hamburger mixed with her dog food) she has slept alot but I imagine she didn't get much sleep last night at the er vet's. The vet said she was a social little girl everytime they came by to check on her she would run to the door and wag her tail! I am still very concerned about her BUN level being up and worried it might be a liver shunt.

| Patti sorry to hear about your little one, glad she is home and better today here is some information about a BUN test BUN: 'BUN' stands for Blood Urea Nitrogen. The proteins that animals consume in their diet are large molecules. As they are broken down and utilized by the body, the by-product of this metabolism is nitrogen-containing urea compounds. These are of no use to the body and are excreted by the kidneys. If the kidney is not working correctly and filtering these compounds from the blood, they build up to excessively high levels. When this happens to a human, they are said to be 'uremic,' and will probably be placed on a dialysis machine. When the BUN result is high, it is only an indication that the nitrogen wastes of protein are not being removed from the body. While kidney disease is the primary reason for studying the BUN level, there can be other causes for its elevation. We also see significant BUN elevations when the patient is dehydrated, since there is just not enough fluid in the body for the kidneys to function correctly. Additionally, if anything causes decreased blood flow to the kidneys, they cannot adequately filter the blood and the BUN will elevate. An example of this would be heart disease with decreased circulation. If there is an obstruction so that the urine cannot get out of the body, it will build up in the bladder preventing the kidneys from producing more. This would also elevate the BUN. Lower than normal BUN levels are frequently noted in liver disease. This organ is one of the primary sites of protein breakdown. If this breakdown does not occur, the nitrogenous wastes will be found at lower than normal levels. hope this helps

| Patti, sorry your little one was sick. Hope she is back to her old self soon. I found this and think it will help: Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) indicates kidney function. An increased blood level is called azotemia and may be caused by kidney, liver, heart disease, urethral obstruction, shock, dehydration, or an intestinal or stomach foreign body. A low BUN may indicate a cirrhotic liver or portal shunt. http://www.cah.com/dr_library/labtests.html

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Thanks everyone! Cali is her old wild self this morning. Terrorizing Maya and looking for trouble. Thank God and all of your prayers. I'm hoping the elevated BUn is maybe because she was dehydrated. She doesn't drink much water and she hadn't had any in a while when I took her to the ER vet. I am going to get her in to my vet later this week and will have her recheck it.
