Thank you. I miss her more each day. She's been gone 19 months, on Sept. 28th, and it hasn't gotten any easier.
Kidney disease does not fight fair! My sweet girl showed no symptoms. We caught it in routine blood work, prior to her dental.
Her BUN & Creatinine were just slightly above the normal range, and I was able to bring them back down almost into the normal range.
She was doing very well, and then, suddenly, her levels sky-rocketed, and she was gone in just 4 days.
We began testing our little Kia, a week after Sydney died, and her levels were just in the high end of normal, so we immediately put her on a homemade renal failure diet.
She is doing well....but I remember all too clearly how well Sydney had done, and so it is always in my mind, that I could lose her.
She will be 14 years old in December.
She misses Sydney so much. We are getting another puppy the beginning of November, and we feel the puppy will help ease her lonliness.
