Re: Birmans and elevated kidney enzymes

Not had direct experience of this but know that in large muscular cats creatinine (especially) and urea can be elevated. Birman's for this reason, do fall into this category-doesn't mean they have CRF though.

Here's a link about this from Tanya's CRF site. Not sure if any current members are dealing with this issue but being very knowledgeable are bound to have some advice etc.

Thanks, Tanya's website is one in my resource bank already, am trawling my way through, completely agree elevated levels not necessarily CRF, just would like to learn more from someone who has encountered this in theirs.

Re: Birmans and elevated kidney enzymes

Joining the group is your best source then. I do rememer a few members some time ago with the same 'condition'. Of course you'd have to take the age of the cat as well, though I'm assuming your(s) are younger.
