I agree that further testing needs to be done. Bloodwork is a good starting step and in many areas will give you advance notice of any problems. The exception to this is kidney function. Unfortunately kidney problems won't show up in bloodwork until the kidneys are down to a fraction of their normal function.

If your vet is concerned about kidney issues, there is a test called an E.R.D. that can detect kidney issues much earlier than normal bloodwork. It's not expensive and might give you a better idea of what you are dealing with, or at least what you aren't dealing with.
