i'm sorry i may have confused you- from now on i will only discuss one dog at a time. I know i am so bad at that. Please don't be upset with me. Sadie is the one with the kidney issue /Glomerulonephritis Disease (Protein losing disease) her kidneys are not filtering properly. vet described it as holes in her kidneys leaking out protein. the benezeperil works by closing the holes and keeping protein in. By constricting blood vessel i believe.

samie's only kidney issue was her forming calcium oxalate crystals in her urine and we are currently giving her the potassium citrate granules. her ph is currently 8.0

BUT just for the record:

SAMIE: is the one with the liver issues right now, she also has a history of forming calcium oxalate crystals and collapsing trachea- Currently on potassium citrate granules, Soloxine, Flovent, Denamarin and Ursodiol.
WE have Hydromet also for her just in case she coughs sometimes really bad. ---

(which since i have altered my home she is doing better -no hairspray,perfume, febreeze or glade plug in's. No spraying of anything Or burning candles)

She have 2 episodes of coughing maybe 2 times a month if that since i started picking up on things that bother her.

SADIE is the one that has Glomerulonephritis Disease -protein losing disease and skin allergies. she is currently on Soloxine and Benazeperil

i promise to discuss one dog at a time- it gets hard with so much going on.
