I would try not to panic until you see the vet. Many senior dogs have some loss of kidney function. It may be mild and age related. There are several stages of kidney failure, and many treatments that are available to support the kidneys. Since Bentley wasn't showing any symptoms you likely caught it early and there are interventions you can put in place to slow the disease. Once you speak to the vet and have the information you need, you can get a treatment plan in place. My last yorkie was diagnosed with kidney failure at age 13 and lived happily on for over three more years. We lost him at 16.5 due to an issue that was not even related to his kidneys. So hang in there and try not worry too much yet.
