my 7 year old with kidney failure what do i do I wasn't there for the apt it was my boyfriend that was there. Vet supposibly said she has 95 temp was extremely worried bout that and ran test and it was kidney failure. Vet automatically said to put her down. Instead of givin us thje options to keep her with us. What do I do? Where do I start helping her? Please help |
I am so sorry but I think I would certainly get a second opinion before making such a crucial decision. I wish you good luck. What tests were done to determine this outcome? |
Sorry your baby has kidney failure, mine was diagnosed at 10y and lived to almost 14y. She was on k/d diet and low protein treats. Her BUN and creatin levels we always elevated, but she did good and had a normal life. |
join this group immediately they are awesome and will help you K9KIDNEYS : for owners of dogs with Kidney Disease what do they think caused this ? what were the bun and creatinine values as that along with urine measure the kidneys was your dog on any medicines recently? |
Normal life? Was ur lil baby walkin around looking healthy? My poor lil girl is having trouble walking around and will stay laying down all day. I'm giving a call to vet and asking about the levels so I can discuss with you guys |
How long has she been ill? This just suddenly started? No warning signs or anything? |
I would get a second opinion or try getting her to a kidney specialist. They can do a lot for kidney failure these days. Good luck! |
Please get a referral to a Kidney Specialist for a second opinion. :( |
Any regular practice vet should be able to handle the treatment of renal failure. I would make an appointment with another vet for a second opinion since time is off the essence (it does not sound like this is something that can wait) .... internal med specialist is good, but honestly I don't know how a regular vet could not handle this. Of course that all depends on how severe this is. That temperature is worrisome. I am wondering what else is going on. Too many things we don't know here. |
She has always been thin but I noticed. A week ago she wasn't normal weight so I started cooking her chicken n rice thinking it was a upset tummy by sunday she wasn't getting out of bed but for food water n potty I am going to a different vet tom for a 2nd look |
UPDATE: I spoke to vet.. her temp was 95... BUN was over 130 and Creatine was 4.4....vet says she is at the very end of kidney failure.. 2nd opinion or the unthinkable... |
My Peppy was in kidney failure for years...when his levels got that severe he was given fluids to flush the kindeys...it really worked to lower those numbers......he also was on azodyl a probioitc that my regular vet has seen great success with this medication... One time he had to stay over night for fluids, but all the other times I gave him the fluids at home under his skin..... I would get another opinion or at least speak to your vet about fluids to see if they help.... |
