Kidney disease Diana, Thank you so much for your time and consideration in offering such valuable information. I am sorry to hear that you have suffered the loss of a fur child. Wyland's creatine number in August was 2.3. We now have him scheduled with a specialist. I thought too on the hydration as I have read that it is critical to keep them hydrated. Our vet declined that it would be a benefit for him. ???? We are anxious to see what the specialist will have to say. We love our little guy and want to do whatever is best to give him a good quality of life. Thanks again and have a great day! Barb |
