Hi Christine, I would want to know more about the reasons as why the creatin level is up. An internist or board-certified small animal practioner can help you with this. Is there a medical problem causing the kidneys to disfunction or are they the originating problem. Diet is good to support the kidneys but you should find out why this is happening and see if it can be resolved for the longterm health of your dog.

The blood work revealed that she had the lymes disease antibodies and a high creatin (sp?) level. I treated her for the lymes disease and will have her retested soon. When she returned on March 27th to be spayed, the vet advised me that the creatin level increased again. I was told this has to do with her kidneys. She has never had any problems holding her urine. The vet has recommended Science Diet K/D and special biscuits. I've been told this means no special treats such as Frosty Paws and peanut butter flavored dog biscuits. The vet also assured me this has nothing to do with cancer. Has anyone ever experienced this or can explain this to me? Any information would be appreciated.
