How can I lower my dog’s blood urea nitrogen (BUN)?

What fruits can’t a Husky eat?
Fruits a Husky cannot eat include grapes, avocado, cherries, pineapple, mango, grapefruit, and persimmon. Grapes are very harmful to dogs; even a small amount can damage the spleen and cause acute kidney failure. Avocado contains persin, which causes stomach upset in dogs and may lead to breathing difficulty and fluid around the heart. Cherries contain cyanide, which is quite toxic to dogs. Owners must learn a dog's dietary restrictions to avoid harming it unintentionally.

What if a cat has soft stools all the time?
Chronic soft stools can come from poor diet, gastroenteritis, parasites, or pancreatitis. Untreated, it may worsen to diarrhea, watery stool, or blood. Long-term cases from diet or chronic gastritis can cause malnutrition and affect development. Get fecal, X-ray, and blood tests.
What happens if a cat has an oral tumor?
Oral tumors may cause swelling, pain, bleeding, drooling, and reduced appetite. If it ulcerates, infection, bad breath, and tissue necrosis can follow. Malignant tumors may metastasize, causing organ failure and death. Get a cytology exam to plan treatment.
