The vet said to continue with the Renalzin, one squirt twice a day. She to was also surprised at the amount his creatinine level had dropped and I have wondered whether the previous vet got the right results tbh.
She said that if there is a noticable change in him then take him back to have up to date bloods done otherwise let him be.
We now call him the come back cat  |
Thank you Jayne, A decrease of 91 for Creatinine if very remarkable indeed. Yes, since phosphorous should be treated when 1.9> then yes I think vet is wise to recommend continuing with the Renzalin since the lower the better. I suppose you could say he's on the 'at risk' CRF register!
Well, the lab equipment might be faulty but another explanation for the rise and subsequent fall might be a mild kidney infection which he managed to overcome. Or high BP that was treated. Anyway very glad to hear he's doing soo well. Keep up the good work!
