And to answer your questions: Acute Renal/Kidney Failure can kill a dog in a day... depending on the dogs kidney function to begin with, what toxin and how much, and the dog's previous history. So each dog will react differently, some may make it longer than others, some may pass on sooner.
I don't think it's a painful condition, I think as the kidneys quit working, the body becomes toxic and the dog feels sick and confused, due to the chemical changes going on inside.
Dogs that bloat usually only have an hour or two before they will pass from the chemical changes affecting the blood and other systems. |
