Re: Spice may have CRF.


Well, some relatively good news for Spice, her protein/ creatine ratio is low, what apparently means her short term prognosis is good, that is she has been caught early. I am assuming the yearly blood tests have paid off.
At the moment she is to stay on a renal diet, she likes the tuna flavour, but does not need to go on fortekor yet. We must book her in for a blood pressure check, and again (i'm assuming) if its high we treat that and helps that lengthen her lifespan again.
So, all in all the best news we could expect, now I just have to get her booked in and see where we go from there. At least we are know there is a problem and can monitor it.
I have to admit, I feel a bit better seeing these results, I was so worried.

Re: Spice may have CRF.


Good news, farthing. I've been fortunate not to have CRF with any of mine, but my friend Carolyn lost her old Kate to it, despite a long struggle and a very supportive and knowledgable vet...pray that Spice will be all right. It is so hard when we see the oldies succumbing to the inevitable problems of age ...(((hugs)))

Re: Spice may have CRF.


Spice goes into the vet tomorrow morning for blood pressure checks, along with Sorrell, a bun, who needs a dental. The vets plan to do a few tests through the morning and I guess will decide if she needs meds for her blood pressure, hopefully if it is high, it may be why her renal tests are up, will let you know tomorrow.
Another stressful day ahead!

Re: Spice may have CRF.


Winston had high blood pressure but it came on later as his CRF progressed, we were able to manage it with tablets, forget the name of them now.
All the best for the bp test tomorrow and for the bunnies dental xxx
