thank you for your reply. Her BUN was elevated (80+) as was the creatanine after her surgery but came down. We were doing ultrasounds & blood work once a month since January & in March it plateaued to I think 60's/3.1. Her readings in early May were surprisingly lower, I believe high 40's or low 50's & createnine was 2.6 or so. The doctor was happily surprised as we expected no "improvement" per se just to stay static. She has a 3 month checkup in Aug so we'll do another ultrasounds to make sure no stones are blocking and more bloodwork. Her doctor is a top notch Nephrologiest at UC Davis and is always amazed at the "rock quary" of stones she has sitting in her kidney pelvis. She says so long as they don't all drop at once Maizy will be ok. They've passed a one by one (can see them on ultrasound) but no group droppings since her surgery (fingers crossed). I purchased some frozen raw chicken months ago & they've been in the freezer this whole time. I've been worried about introducing/switching them to that if it would increase her chance for the kidney stones to be promlematic. I am also afraid to take out her feeding tube since it is such a great life line to feed her & give her a lot of water whether she likes it or not :)
