Creatine was mentioned as being abnormal as well, and I don't think he was dehydrated unless dehydration can show without the skin/scruff test as well ??

He goes back in today and I'll ask about what you mentioned. Can you, or anyone else, think of anything else I should bring up or ask besides what's been already discussed?

When he goes back to get another blood sugar to see if true values, then the vet can check the mouth well.

I had a girl in renal failure without mouth sores, so that is just something to look out for but doesn't really diagnose anything specific. The one value that helps with this is the creatinine level,
the BUN alone doesn't since it can be high with dehydration as well as kidney problems.
