Praying you get good news at the vets. I had a 6 month old puppy with congenital kidney failure. I took her to a nephrologist when one of the vets said there was nothing to be done. The specialist said he had many long term patients and quite a few yorkies in his practice that were doing well with treatment. Dixie was given Iv fluids and several medicines but sadly her kidney's just had never matured and I lost her. The specialist did say that in most cases, if they have at least 25% kidney function they can be helped. Dixie had only 17%. Dixie's Bun was over 400. I hope that you baby will improve and have many more good times with you.
