Weird question. Does anyone know what a normal size kidney for these dogs are? I just got a more detailed report from her vet in the mail today. It says bilateral small kidneys with hypoechoic renal cortices- rt kidney 4.02 cm left kidney 3.30. It says the small kidneys with abnormal architecture represents hereditary kidney disease the prognosis long term is unfavorable however no time frame or survival tume can be given Her blood work that she had prior her BUN was 48 and her cre was 1.8. Maybe I will try the hills. Anyone know the percentage of protien that's in it. My local pet store only had some food called neo. The protien level is at 3.5% for a can. Is that too low?
