So sorry to hear about Peek, hope you find a way to regulate the food. I lost my little 2.8 lb. yorkie to kidney disease on March 12th 2013 She was diagnosed in stage 2 Kidney Disease in Oct., I got special food the vet recommended from Rayne Nutrition and both my yorkies had that mixed with other food, they hated it, being primarily sweet potato, squash, cod and cod oil. They hated the Hills and the Purina special KD canned foods. I've also tried home cooked foods they only ate a week, and changed their minds. Lindsey was 13 yrs and 4 mo. old when she passed, she got her rabies vaccine shot on March 1, she had a reaction and had to be hosp. for 2 days, sent home for Pawspice, sub-q fluids, syringe feedings, meds,and she never recovered being only 2.8 lbs and dropping. She was too sick, weak to fight back so we let her go. Nobody told us that terminal dogs do not get rabie shots or any shots/meds. The tech gave it to her without any concent from the vet, NObody checked her records and nobody told me no shots. The same rabies vaccine is given to 100 lbs dogs as given to a 3 lb. dog. We did all we could for Lindsey and still lost her. We still have her older sister who is in early stages of KD and she's fighting grief now also. She's starting to eat again, very fussy eater but she does like sweet potato and a Burger King broiled hamburger small pieces with it, along with senior vitamins. So far so good, at this point the vet said to give her anything she would eat, I've had many homemade mixes I tried to no avail. I am a member of the K9Kidney group, have learned a lot and not looking forward to loosing Lacey, who is 15 yrs 3 months old now. She's getting a lot of love and attenition. KD is the worse like cancer, just hope we can have her with us a little longer, she is also 3 lbs. and holding. Prayers to your Peek, hope you can find the right combinations of foods, will be thinking of him. God bless |
