Hello. None of these medications are associated directly with problems in the kidneys, so it might be best to report this new finding to your veterinarian. Dahlia may need some follow-up diagnostics to make sure this is not a new symptom. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
