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. | Thank you. Pixie is not the wildest one in the bunch, but she runs around and plays with them. She is ready to sit with me when I sit down and will lay with me all day. I got he in December and right after Christmas she and Haley got sick with vomiting. I took them to the vet and they said she had upset tummy and decided it was because of too many treats. She had another episode in March of vomiting. I took her back to vet and they said another upset tummy. She has been fine since until Sunday. I am still waiting to hear from UT. The waiting is killing me! |
