Presley is in renal failure... So my beloved Presley is in end stage renal failure according to my vet. We have been treating his kidney disease for about a year and a half with pretty good results. But within a month he started to go downhill. He is almost 17 1/2 so I guess his age is also a factor. My vet says he does not have long but is not in any pain. We've decided to keep him home with us as long as he is comfortable and continue fluids for however long he is with us. I know how blessed I've been to have him for so long but I am still so devastated his time is near. I've been keeping him very close to me, he seems more content. He mostly sleeps now.
I wanted to thank YT for existing. I have learned so much reading this forum over the years. It is invaluable, IMO. I was able to be more informed and always questioned my vet - even though he is great.
I know another Yorkie will be in my future. So I'll be looking for recommendations once we've grieved. I still have a lot of love to give, even though I feel like I'm dying inside now.
Thank you all for your support. |
