Thank you Marianne!
In terms of symptom control his skin looks the best it's been in a long time and even some fur is growing back which is nice. He still drinks and pees a lot but not uncontrollably. My main issues with him now would be that his bones sometimes give a crack when he gets up after laying down for a while but he is still able to jump on the bed and do all of those things. Continuing with 1 Dasuquin soft chew each day. Also, he does have some fatty deposits/lumps showing up but the vet said they are fine??
Also they just got back to me on the tests...Jet's numbers continue to look good so no changes to his meds.
PRE - 2.7
POST - 5.7 (LOW) - but she didnt seem to think this was a problem, so no meds change
Urine -
Protein - 42.1
Creatinine - 35.3
Ratio - 1.2 (High)
URINE P:C RATIO INTERPRETATION ---------------------The urine P:C ratio must be evaluated in conjunction with urine sediment findings as gross hematuria or inflammation can cause elevated ratios.
Urine P:C ratios >/= 0.5 in dogs & cats indicate overt
proteinuria and are evidence of persistent renal proteinuria when found repeatedly (3 or more samples obtained 2 or more weeks apart) and are unable to be attributed to a pre-renal or post-renal cause. The urine microalbumin test is a more sensitive test and will be positive before overt proteinuria is detected.
In dogs, persistent renal proteinuria with urine P:C ratios >/= 2.0 is usually due to glomerular disease.
Let me know your thoughts, if any
Best,
Jennifer
