re. ranges for Rosebud's lab work:
Thks; I didn't realize that the machines doing the blood analysis may not be calibrated the same - figured they would all be standardized. So here are the values again with normal ranges.
amylase = 1351 (300-1100)
bun = 49 (10- 30)
cre = 2.9 (0.3- 2.1)
Not sure which values would relate to blood protein. Would it be "alb"? (albumin?) I used to be a medical lab technologist so I should remeber these things, but don't.
The vet didn't do a urinalysis; she wasn't in the clinic very long.
Thanks, Rainbow, for the suggestion about Top Crop - will investigate.
To Growler; Maybe I'll order a case of Wellness Chicken. I have to order a case (Top Crop), can't try a single can. (But I can always give the unused cans to the SPCA) Based on the high recommendations, I ordered a case of Wellness turkey a few months ago, and Rosebud hates it. Will not go near it unless mixed with something tasty like fancy Feast.
Growler; Thanks so much for the info about phos levels in chicken compared to phos in Hill's - ARE YOU KIDDING??? Why would they use a protein source so high in phos in a diet for a CRF cat? And re. Wysong. Well I'm glad I didn't order any of it!
Okay, gotta get ready for work; thanks again for the eye-opening input, guys.
Rosebud's mom.
