    I just Ruby's latest blood & urine tests back.
    Her USG has held steady at 1.020

    In September her BUN was 33 and now its gone up to 38 (normal is 14.0-36.0 for our lab)
    Her Creatinine was 2.1 and is down to 1.9 (normal is 0.6-2.0)

    What does it mean when the BUN goes up?
    Also, her Creatine Kinase is high, 730 (normal is 50-668) and I don't know what that means either.

    Any ideas?

    There is a tab on her spreadsheet that has all of her blood results.

    ETA: It might be worth noting that we had done a series of 7 blood pressure tests (with a cuff, not dopplar) so she was pretty irritated by the time they did the blood & urine draw. They also took the blood from her neck instead of her leg like they normally do. I don't know if that could cause the elevated CK.

    She's currently on Friskie's Special Diet, in an effort to keep her Phosphorus level in check. She was eating Fancy Feast but the phos level in that is crazy high. Maybe its because she's eating a bit more on this food than she did on the FF.
