| Please help! Devastated ;'(((( Hello All, My baby Bella, currently 2years old has been recently diagnosed with severe kidney failure. I am devastated. I've had her since she was 8weeks old and just can't see myself without her. Doctors have showed no hope in her improvement considering the fact her CREATNINE is at 11.2 and her BUN at 140. She's been hospitalized and on IVY fluids for 48 hours now going onto 72, showing no improvement. I've been told that the best thing to do is put her to sleep so that she doesn't suffer. I am so depressed about this and the last thing I want to do is put her to sleep, I REFUSE to. Does anyone know of any medications or treatments I can use to bring her home and completely AVOID putting her to sleep. Please HELP! I really am devastated!!!! |

| I am so sorry for you and Bella. Is there any indication what caused this? Here is a recent thread on renal failure: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sic...l-failure.html I'm sorry I have no advice to offer. Sending prayers for Bella.

| I'm so sorry. Were there no symptoms leading up to this? Surely there must have been some kind of signal something was not right? BIL's bull terrier also passed from kidney failure. Bull terriers are known for being strong and hiding pain, but also known for having kidney issues. By the time BIL knew something was wrong it was already too late, and had to put him to sleep. There is no medication that will cure it, the organs are failing. Again I am so sorry you are going through this.

| I am so sorry for you and Bella. I just wanted you to know that I will be praying for her. We had to make a decision like what you're facing, last year with Prince. We love and loved him too much to have him suffer any longer. It was extremely hard on both my husband and me.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I am so sorry to hear about your baby. I lost my Dixie at 7 months of age to congenital kidney failure. Did they say Bella's was congenital? Dixie's kidney's were vey under developed. My vet said there was no hope but I took her to a nephrologist and he said he had many yorkies with kidney failure that were being successfully managed. We tried medicines but within a week she was so sick we had to make the hardest decision. The only thing you could try is seeing a specialist so at least you know everything has been done. I will keep you both in my prayers.

| I am so very sorry to hear that you are going thru this. My Sammy has CRF but he is older - almost 13. Maybe the IV fluids will start to help soon. Saying prayers for you and your sweet pup. Sending hugs. |

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Just seeing this. You must be devastated. I'm so sorry. Unfortunately, I'm no help. If it were me, I'd get a second opinion from a specialist before I did anything drastic. Sending you our best.

| I'm so sorry. I had to go through this with my cat about a year ago. She was only 8 yrs. old and very small. It was heartbreaking, but we could tell she was in pain and putting her down seemed to be the kind thing to do. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
