Kidney Failure Questions My 4 year old Yorkie came in contact with leptosperosis almost two years ago and he has never been the same. he was treated for the lepto, but it turns out it caused damage to his kidneys that seems to be worsening at a rapid pace. he has been in and out of the vet multiple times over the last two years and now we have him on a special diet and inject him with fluids on a daily basis. He rarely eats...maybe one meal every two day and he smells horrible. i feel bad complaining about the smell while he is sick, but the odor in my house over the last few days is like nothing I have ever experienced before...its almost like amonia. Also, he can no longer go a night without peeing or pooping on the floor. I am just wondering if anyone has suggestions for me...any thoughts would be greatly appreciated and I am willing to try anything |
Im not overly familiar with kidney failure but I know the smell is from the kidneys shutting down |
I lost my Dixie to congenital kidney failure last year. She was only 7 months old. Her kidney's never developed properly. At the end, she smelled so bad that I literally had to sleep with perfume on my arms and keep my face down on my arms. That ammonia smell the kidney doc told me is uremic poisoning from the kidney's failing to filter out all the toxins from their system. He also said that they get very nauseous and stop eating. Dixie would just sleep and licking her lips from the nausea. If you haven't already you may want to have a kidney specialist (nephrologist) evaluate your baby and see if they can help. I hope he can feel better soon. |
Sorry you and your baby are going through this. I lost my Julz to kidney failure almost yr ago. The smell is just what Patti explained. That smell is like no other...It is forever embedded in my nostrils and hope i never smell it again. Good luck to you and you baby, keep us posted |
