I am so torn

My Fred had what we presume was Leptosparosis this past summer and has suffered some kidney damage. His kidney number when we started was 129 in august, down to 68 in october after 2 rounds of antibiotics and down to 52 here about 2 weeks ago. He is currently on science diet k/d food. (sorry this is long lol) We dont know if it will go down any further or if it ever will.

My sister has a greyhound with kidney damage and after she switched her to a raw diet she has done so much better.

I guess my basic question is this, wouldnt raw food be hard on his kidneys? if not wont he start wanting to bite into people looking for blood i mean it would be raw meat we feed him? (i know that sounds dorky prolly but yeah) and if i were to switch him how do i go about doing it HELP!!
