Re: [rawfeeding] Re: high BUN but normal Creatinine levels.....??

When i take a urine sample in on Monday im going to get her ACTUAL numbers from the vet. (what they were back in Sept, and what they are now).

No she was not fasted all prior to the tests, on both blood tests, she ate around 5-6 hours PRIOR to the blood being drawn. the vet never told me to fast her, should i have done so?? fast food and water or just food?

I will type BUN into the search files and read some previous emails as well........

thank you~

*** How high is high? Are we talking a little above the normal
reference range, or are we talking several times higher than normal?
Was the dog fasted for 12 hours or more before both blood tests?

*** High protein diets do not damage kidneys, and low protein diets do
not spare damaged kidneys. These are myths based on faulty and old
research. I'm tired of debunking these myths, and disgusted with vets
who still buy into it and still sell low protein kibbles, which are
the worst possible thing to feed kidney patients anyway. This is not
new news, either--the first article I read debunking the low protein
theory of kidney treatment was in 1999, maybe earlier. There is no
excuse for vets not to be aware of these facts.

I and others have discussed this numerous times on the list, so check
the archives for more details and links to studies.
