I am sorry to hear your baby is going through this. I have Nikki who is estimated to be about 19 years old. He was a senior rescue so no history on him. About a year and a half ago he was diagnosed with early kidney failure. The vet put him on KD diet. I give him the canned as he has no teeth and it's easier for him to eat. His blood work from a month ago had not changed. But this past week he didn't want to eat and he was very lethargic and having trouble standing. So I took him to the vet and his blood work was a little worse. His BUN went to 46 and his creatine was 1.6 or 1.7 I can't remember. The vet wasn't too worried about the kidney values as he was not eating and had evidence of some sort of infection. So I think the KD diet has helped keep Nikki's kidney failure from getting much worse. Until recently he loved the KD diet. My 3 girls think it is a special treat and try and steal his food (he's blind) when they can. I started warming it now and on vets advice mix it with chicken baby food. He is now eating like normal. I hope your baby can live a long time with the disease under control. I will keep her in my prayers. |
