Ok has anyone heard of this a book called "Kidney Disease Breakthrough"? Or 101 Recipes for Kidney Disease? My friend just found out her dog has kidney disease (congenital, exacerbated by anesthesia from her surgery to be fixed). Her BUN has been high, she has protein in her urine (12), and she is third spacing into her abdomen (meaning she is pooling fluid in her belly). It is like we are witnessing how similar canines and humans are from all our nursing experiences. She has gone to one of the top specialists in the world (which just happens to be located here in Orlando).
We need help. They gave her months to live. She is only 6 months old. Is there anything anyone can recommend?
Thank you soo much in advanced. I'll continue to research but anything that anyone has been successful with would be GREAT!!! |
is the specialist a nephrologist?
here is my friend's nephrologist so maybe a consult with her might be helpful as a second opinion
I think your friend has this dog for a reason as i believe everything happens for a reason and her being a nurse this baby will get the best care and your friend will learn alot from this experience so tell her to hang in there
