Elevated BUN and creatinine in 5 yo Shelties

Oh, and we had a good long talk with the internal medicine specialist about all the things that could have led to the numbers being high. The dogs being littermates confuses the issue a bit, because it might suggest something genetic. On the other hand, since they live together and eat the same things, do the same activities, etc. it could also be environmental.

At any rate, we were pleased with the thorough rundown we got from the vet's office, and since she considered every possible scenario and recommended we not panic, but take a wait-and-see attitude, she calmed our fears.
 
Thanks for that about the plum pits. I had no idea the whole time they have been eating them (every year!) until this abnormality came up and I was googling everything. Scary! I will be sure to pick up all the fallen plums in future seasons.
