A foster of mine that was adopted did have BUNS in the low hundreds...she stayed two nights at the vets getting fluids and then after that her new parents gave her the fluids...she also was on azodyl and eating KD which was a miracle because prior to the hospital stay she was refusing to eat... this was in July 08 and as of right now she is still doing well...she goes back in this month for a re-check on her kidney levels...
The azodyl is a probiotic that helps with the kidneys...
Has anyone been in our position where IVs had to be used to reduce BUNs in the hundreds to an acceptable level...then turn around and do that at home? And do dogs in this dire situation last for a long time if the intial near death experience is reversed?? Frankly, I want to know if my guys numbers continue to come back down and we do the sub-q at home, is it possible to lead a comfortable life for months or a year??
