Oh, I'm sorry to hear this I've had experience with UTI in dogs, but no expereince with kidney disease in dogs. Is this the same vet that treated her previous UTI's? Usually a urinalysis can rule out a UTI; did they ask you drop off a sample right away? Hopefully you can get the repeat blood work done asap and get some answers. Are you sure she's not having any trouble urinating/having blood in her urine? You mentioned her being in pain the other day and sometimes UTIs and definitely bladder and kidney stones, can cause much discomfort. I definitely think an ultrasound would give you the most definite answer. I'll be keeping your precious Raustyk in my prayers and keeping my fingers crossed for a quick diagnosis and swift recovery! Please keep us updated. HUGS to you Raustyk! Sandra, Cody and Star
I appreciate your prayers. And although we are dropping of a urine sample asap, 7:30 tomorrow morning, as well as repeat blood work, I doubt it is a uti, she has had litterally at about 50 in her first 4.5 years with me and she is showing not one single symptom that she showed before. Because of that I am not keeping my hopes up.

Last yesr she had another UTI (the first in 1.5 years) & then she had a few cbc's done, each one a couple months apart & still her BUN was way high, but never over 41.

I was told then that she probably had permanant kidney damage, possibly cancer in the future due to other blood tests results.

thank you so much for your concern & comments.
