[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My cat had kidney failure. His symptoms were similar. We chose not to do anything invasive. He lived another year and was very comfortable until the last week. It's apparently very common in older cats. Our original vet didn't diagnose him but my gut said something was up. We changed vets and he was diagnosed. I know your vet did labs but did they specifically rule kidney failure out? I can't recall the specific labs used. [/quote] Yes, his scaring on the kideys is so mild that it doesn't even qualify to be staged. The blood test checks the bun/ creatinine levels, and the pH to check how well the kidneys are concentrating the urine. Then he had the urine sample sent to a lab to culture it.[/quote]
