Jinley has had some blood tests after I just thought she "wasnt right". Vet didnt think they would show anything up, but reluctantly agreed to do them.
It has shown a very high Urea level in her kidneys (normal range 1.7-7.4 Jinleys was 12.3)
She had her anal glands removed in January because I kept thinking she was having issues (and at times she was), marks on the bedding, generally feeling unwell and breath that could strip paint.
Its obvious now that there were underlying issues and the anal gland issues were masking the real problem. Wishing I had had blood tests before just to be sure!
She has had another set of urine tests today which are showing struvite crystals in her urine with a Ph of 8. Next 2 weeks she is on a low purine, low phosphorous for 2 weeks then back for blood tests. Any experience or views on whether all of this could be linked?
