It really all depends upon the stage of renal failure. I had one who lived for four years.
Your vet should give you the stage and then give you a diet for him. If it is in the beginning stages, a good kidney diet (low protein, low phosphorous and low sodium) can keep him healthy for some time.
In the later stages, they need fluids ... sometimes subcutaneous fluids and at times if their BUN and Creatinine are higher they might need IV fluids.
Keep us posted on him! |
