I'm so sorry about Wyland. It crept up really fast with my girl Minnie (she's the yorkie pictured in my avatar). She got blood tests every year to check the kidneys since she was older (no idea on the age since she was a rescue, but at least 10 and probably more like 13+ since she was full grown when we rescued her, and we had her 8 years) but got really sick one day and that turned out to be it. I put chicken broth in her water to encourage her to drink more, at my vets suggestion since her kidney function had plummeted so badly. Be on the lookout for seizures, Minnie never had them until the end, but they're apparently pretty common with kidney failure.
