I do not have any yorkies at present (my pack is 13 dogs of assorted breeds and mixes that my wife and I rescued from abuse situations)but my beloved 12 y/o GSD, Liebschen has renal failure and is currently on Hills K/D food, Epakitin and Azodyl. She has been on the Hills and Epakitin for about 2 years and the Azodyl for 2 weeks since she stopped eating. She also has had a subq fluid treatment (we will administer weekly) and is now eating a little with a LOT of coaxing. She is fit otherwise for her age as she gets lots of exercise on our farm and as the Alpha of the pack.
We are desperate to do whatever we can to prolong her life as long as she is not suffering. Can anyone verify the claims made by 5 Leaf Pet Pharmacy for its line of herbals etc. or suggest any other things we can try?
