My Dixie had congenital renal failure so her kidney's never developed normally. I got her at 6 months and she was fine, she was very thin and not a big eater but I first noticed about 2 weeks after I got her that her urine had no odor and no color. It started to bother me so I took her in for a urine test and it came back bad so they did bloodwork and called me an hour later saying her kidney's were failing and there was nothing they could do. I took her to a nephrologist and he said he could help her. After 1 week and 1900.00 she had to be out to sleep. Dixie went from normal to terminal in one week. She stopped eating, had terrible breath, which was uremic posioning and couldn't stay awake. The specialist said that when the kidney's fail they can go from normal to terrible in a very short time. So Dixie was with me 5 weeks and even though she had the disease from birth she was ok for 7 months and then had to be put to sleep. I know how devastating it is to loose such a young puppy and see them so sick and nothing you can do. |
