Orijen 6 fish

I decided to try grain free for Mr. Higgins to attempt to clear up his persistent sore toes.
I put him on the Orijen Jan 23.
This past week he went in for heartworm test and a blood profile. His creatinine and BUN were quite elevated.
I am hoping the cause is the Orijen. It has 44% protein!
Not sure what I was thinking. I hope and pray the food is the cause. Now he is on Hills KD which really bugs me, but now I have no choice. Anyone else have this issue from food?
Also, the vet said to go straight to the KD without transition, just cold turkey. I have never done this. Should I? I bought a bag today.
Thanks in advance.

Orijen is definitely too high in protein for our Bulldogs

I am not sure about going cold turkey when you change but perhaps it would be better to have a bit of diahorrea than the alternative if it is the food causing the other problems.
