Abstract :
A two-year-old neutered tom, named Slavic, was presented with a history of vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration. Clinical evaluation revealed elevated BUN, creatinine, phosphorus, and glucose levels alongside anemia and lymphopenia. A comprehensive diagnostic approach, including hematology, biochemistry, urinalysis, and radiography, confirmed azotemia and renal insufficiency. Gastrointestinal symptoms were suspected to be secondary to uremia and dehydration. A seven-day treatment protocol comprising IV fluids, antibiotics, gastro-protectants, and nutritional support led to partial clinical stabilization. This case highlights the relationship between elevated BUN levels and gastrointestinal symptoms in feline renal pathology. Timely diagnosis, supportive care, and nutritional intervention can lead to a favorable outcome, although continued monitoring and chronic management are essential.
