Oh I am so sorry your are going through this. I lost my Brody to kidney failure. With Brody it happen very quickly. With Brody the vet said to do sub-q fluids at home 2 times a day for 3 weeks. We did but his numbers continued to go up. Then the vet wanted too hospitalized him for 2 nights to see if the could recharge them, they also put him on k/d food. and a appetite simulate.Did you vet mentioned doing the fluilds at home? My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Yes she mentioned it this evening. She said that if they could get Pixie stable I would have to get her the fluids either every day or every other day, change her diet, and give supplements to help her kidneys. She did not go into alot of details because they are more interested in getting her numbers down right now. They are saying so much so fast and I feel like they are speaking a different language. I am sorry to hear about your baby. I didnt realize how many lives are lost from kidney disease until now.

We just got back from visiting with Pixie. They had put a cath tube in her neck and a feeding tube through her nose. She was just waking up and was not active at all. She looked so sad. It broke my heart to see her like that. The vet said that her numbers had came down a small bit today, but not much. She will drink water but will not eat the food they are trying to feed her. Hills ID, they tried to feed her Hills AD and she ate it, but then threw it up. They are hoping that if they can get some food in her stomach through the feeding tube it may help her to want to eat. They also are going to start more aggressive fluids. They said she is losing calcium, but do not know where it is going. They said so much my head is spinning. I can not understand how she could have got so sick so fast. I am still in shock! We are going back tomorrow evening to see her if she is still stable. Please keep her in your prayers, because we need a Miracle
