On January 12, 2022 Gunner saw his veterinary cardiologist Dr. Rebecca Fields Bennie, where a blood count showed that Gunner's kidney values were slightly high. Gunner's cardiologist Dr. Bennie wanted us to follow up with a check on Gunner's kidney values in eight weeks with Gunner's primary veterinarian Dr. J. Scott Mellina. Gratefully, yesterday at that follow-up visit with Dr. Mellina, Gunner's kidney values were within normal limits.
Gunner's kidney values January 12, 2022: CREA 2.0mg/dL (reference interval = 0.5 -1.8)
BUN 29 mg/dL (reference interval = 7 - 27)
Gunner's kidney values March 10, 2022: CREA 1.4 mg/dL (reference interval = 0.5 - 1.8)
BUN 23 mg/dL (reference interval = 7 - 27)
All other values from Gunner's blood chemistry yesterday (March 10, 2022) were within normal limits except for his reticulocytes (immature red blood cells) which were low, 8.5K/uL (reference interval = 10.0 - 11.0). Gunner's primary veterinarian Dr. Mellina did not comment to me about Gunner's RETIC. I emailed all findings from our follow-up visit with Dr. Mellina on March 10, 2022 to Gunner's cardiologist Dr. Bennie.
Pearls:
- Gunner's kidney values are within normal limits
- Gunner is doing well at home, and is continuing to enjoy playing Rally-O
