I lost my Dixie to congenital kidney failure last year. She was only 7 months old. Her kidney's never developed properly. At the end, she smelled so bad that I literally had to sleep with perfume on my arms and keep my face down on my arms. That ammonia smell the kidney doc told me is uremic poisoning from the kidney's failing to filter out all the toxins from their system. He also said that they get very nauseous and stop eating. Dixie would just sleep and licking her lips from the nausea. If you haven't already you may want to have a kidney specialist (nephrologist) evaluate your baby and see if they can help. I hope he can feel better soon. |
