Looking for feedback and anything anyone wants to share.
Background--
Almost 14 year old spayed female. Last week I noticed she was in and out and in and out and in and out of litterbox with only being able to pee a little.
So off to the vet ASAP. Had senior wellness blood panel done. That was fine. Urinalysis done. Specific Gravity Urine (something like that) I was told was in the "normal" range but on lower end (1.028 )
Dr was thinking after that visit she may have sterile cystitis since all indications were not an infection.
Nothing changed in a couple of days and her in and out in and out in and actually got worse. So off to the vet again. They took a sterile urine sample to get sent out for culture to see if it was indeed an infection. While there I mentioned that I had notice she had not pooped in a few days.
More examination done and low and below---she was pretty constipated. That could account for her litterbox behavior. She as given an enema and doing much much better now.
But I wonder about that low value Specific Gravity Urine number. Im waiting for the vet to call so I can talk to them about it, but want to get anyone's thoughts on it here.
I dont know much about CRF. If this is a possible sign of the beginning of it, would love any thoughts and advice anyone here may want to recommend..
Nurtritional insights? Right now she eats "Wellness Core".
