BUN and creatinine are elevated which may mean that there is a kidney failure going on (Urine specific gravity should be tested ideally to check if the kidneys are able to concentrate the urine). Amylase is moderately elevated as well and could suggest an inflammation of the pancreas. Please repost your question and give us more details about the clinical signs Xixa is showing so we can give you more specific answers.
