I am sure the chicken made the numbers higher. Did the vet suggest a kidney diet? She absolutely needs that. Also....if her appetite is not good....ask the vet tomorrow about giving her mirtazapine. It is a wonderful drug for these pups in renal failure.....it does three things... cuts down the nausea, controls the vomiting and increases the appetite! I had a renal issue pupster and kept him alive for four years with good medical management. Even if they are in end stages, sometimes you can get some quality time with them...with good management.

First, they need fluids to get those numbers down...then diet change. Do not give chicken...too much protein! The vet should suggest a kidney diet...they often say Hill's K/D...but I have found Purina NF to be more palatable for the pups.

I will say prayers...hope tomorrow the vet comes up with a plan.
