Bingo's latest blood test

Keymaster

Bingo went to the local vet today for his final catrophen shot. I’ve noticed in the last few weeks that he’s been drinking more water, so I also took a urine sample with me, taken first thing in the morning. He also had an accident last night. Most likely my fault as I often turn him over during the night. I startled him, I think, and he wet himself.

I was sure it was to do with the cartrophen as the drinking became obvious in the last few weeks only. He started the cartrophen 3 weeks ago, having 1 a week, but the vet said no, there really aren’t any side effects with cartrophen.

They checked the urine and found that it was more diluted than they like and there was no infection. I don’t know what the numbers were and then suggested a blood test. They rang me back with results this afternoon and said they believe Bingo may have the beginnings of kidney disease. Of course my heart sank. They suggested next step would be to do an ultra sound of his kidneys.

I asked them to send me a copy of the blood test and also to send on to his specialist. The test results are:
