 kidney problems
My 7 month old Yorkie Wylie was fine Saturday night, but Sunday morning she was lathargic and in pain. Took her to the emergency vet and they said her kidneys were full of kidney stones and she was trying to pass one. They said they had never seen a young dog in this condition, nor had they seen a dog with both kidneys so affected. They told me that her outlook was not good. They told me IF she was able to pass the stone that was trying to go through her uretha....then she would have to be in the hosptial for long term analysis and monitoring. They said if she was ever able to go home, she would need constant monitoring and care. Their best case was that she could have some good days. Sunday night after an agonizing day of holding her and praying, we just couldn't continue to let her be in pain....even with the pain meds, she was not in total relief...we had to let her go. My 3 boys are devestated and I have not been doing too well myself.
Has anyone ever heard of a dog with this condition? The vet said that it appeared to be genetic and that her body was not metabolizing things correctly. She was constantly thirsty and peed ALL THE TIME...I really thought she had a bladder infection. Anyway...any info would help me...even though she is gone...we are in agony and want to find out more about her condition. Thanks, Wylie's mom |
