Vet Check

Rezki sound asleep after his ordeal at the vet this morning. 

We went to get Rez his blood test this morning. He missed his year end test in 2017 as the vet tech was not about then. 

It was surprisingly good and his kidneys seemed to have done really well. His creatinine was 2.1 from 2.7 last June. His BUN was a little higher but still within normal range. The vet was as surprised as myself and we think it’s his diet and his ability to drink more water than the rest. I also spoke about his raw diet of kangaroo, venison and chicken. The vet said the raw diet could also have contributed to this change as well although the previous recommendation was for him to be on a dry renal diet. 

He screamed and yelled at the vet’s when they had to take his blood. Last year they had to sedate him for his test but this year he did not have to be sedated at all. After the vet took his blood he sat down and was quiet as though nothing had happened. 

He is really a Jekyll and Hyde.

  4. P.S. Rez is gracious kitty. When the blood draw was over he forgave the vet. He did not hold a grudge.
