Kathy,

I have no advice and I am learning a lot from those giving you advice on this thread. I just saw this, though, and wanted to tell you that you and Peek are in my thoughts and prayers. I know you will find the right diet for him. He couldn't ask for a better Mommy to be on his side thru this! Hugs!

Gosh Kathy...I'm really sorry to hear this but hopefully the managed diet will keep him healthy for a good long time.

You must be so worried, I hope this condition can be managed and you get to spend many more years with Peek A Boo. The posts from others are full of good news and hope for you And Peek.

Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions and prayers and thoughts. I want to respond individually but I am just too exhausted, and confused! I will be talking to my vet again Thursday, but I think I'll just start Peek on the Hill's K/D and see how he does. Thanks again, all the replies made me feel better.

So sorry about Peek, sending positive thoughts & prayers. Hope the tweak in diet will be good for him!

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

Dr R just answered someone's FAQ about kidney diets and you might find it interesting. The answer follows the post that starts with "I have a 12-year-old mixed breed dog" and is currently the third question on the page.
