I only had Dixie 5 weeks and she was not real active but not sickly. I took her in to my vet because her urine was clear and had no odor. I didn't think it was anything but wanted to check it out. They did a urinalysis and blood work. Her Bun was off the vets chart so they couldn't even get a reading. That evening the vet called and said she was in kidney failure and there was nothing that could be done. I took her to a nephrologist and he thought he could help her. They determined it was congenital by an ultrasound. It showed her kidney's were very underdeveloped. They started her on medicines and she went down hill very quickly. I am hoping your Pixie's kidney failure can be treated and she lives a normal life. If I can do anything let me know.
