I hope this provides some explanations for you and that Puddles isn't really experiencing early stage renal failure   . |
OMG, I could only pray . My vet knows she is on a raw/quality canned. He really wants to find out how well her kidneys are working hence the urinalysis next week.
He wants his nutrition specialist to do an analysis on her food, but all I could think of was Growler and SCM, who I trust so much more. He is knowledgeable enough to know that quality protein and only a canned diet for cats  . He doesn't agree with my homemade diet though  .
