Thank you again Khom, for all the trouble you’re going through. Really appreciate it.
I didn’t talk to the vet about testing yet, though… Here’s the reason:
The result of blood test came out. BUN is 77 and creatinine is 1.62
I was really mad and dissapointed at my vet, because I know this is not the result for kidney failure, whereas all this while she’s been sure that his kidney is failing.
Anyway, the vet was not in today, and I only got to talk with her apprentice (resident?). She didn’t really explain what these figures mean, but she did say that the BUN is quite elevated, but not too elevated. And she said the creatinine is normal.
I did some googling, and found out that BUN of kidney failure is 140.
Plus, the head vet said that the reason Joe has been having a non-stop case of FLUTD is because of the kidney.
Now, putting the pieces together, from the bleeding pee and constant inability to urinate, plus difficulty in inserting catheter, plus the inability of urinating when the catheter’s attached… Could it be a blockage after all?
Please, if anyone have any opinions, I’d like to hear them…
I’ve contacted another vet, and will have a consultation with him after Joget’s released.
Thank you so much for reading this, and for everyone who supports and cares…
