Name: Byeol
Date of Birth: 2022 (2 years old)
Condition: Monitored for kidney health (no prior CKD diagnosis)
From Byeol’s Guardian
Byeol is a 2-year-old cat who had no prior diagnosis of kidney disease but was under regular monitoring due to mild concerns about her kidney values.
Although her numbers were within the healthy range, I wanted to take a more proactive approach to maintaining her kidney condition.
Starting the Routine
In August 2024, Byeol began a daily care routine that included the Dr. Toru Protocol, Intensive Protocol, probiotics, and omega-3 supplements.
We continued to monitor her hydration and overall condition with monthly checkups and blood tests.
During this period, her energy remained good, and her appetite increased slightly.
She became more active at home and showed a stronger interest in toys and interaction.
Health Observations
| Health Metric | August 2024 | September 2024 | Observation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creatinine (CRE) | 1.9 | 1.8 | Recorded slightly lower reading at follow-up |
| BUN Levels | 22 | 24 | Slight fluctuation, continued hydration monitoring |
| Phosphorus (PHOS) | 4.4 | 3.9 | Measured within healthy range at follow-up |
| Weight | 5.0 kg | 5.19 kg | Slight gain, maintained overall balance |
Byeol’s values remained stable during this time, with her creatinine and phosphorus readings showing small variations within the healthy range.
Her appetite stayed strong, and she maintained consistent weight without significant changes in activity level.
Daily Life and Condition
Byeol became more vocal and expressive, often seeking attention and playtime.
Her guardian noted that she spent more time exploring and engaging with her surroundings.
The slight weight gain was noted by the vet as within normal limits, with advice to maintain her current condition.
For me, it’s been reassuring to see her maintain balance while staying energetic and happy.
What I Learned as a Guardian
Even in cats without a confirmed kidney diagnosis, small fluctuations in test results can be important indicators.
Regular monitoring, hydration, and consistent routines help create peace of mind — not just for the cat, but for the guardian as well.
Looking Ahead
Byeol continues to do well with stable energy and healthy appetite.
We’ll keep monitoring her bloodwork regularly to maintain her current balance and comfort.
