| My Tess 14 y/o yorkie All of my Yorkies have high bun levels and creatine, but now Tess seems to have developed some sort of neurological disorder , her paw folds over when she stands,and her legs turn in😞 it was just the front legs but now it's the back to,very very hard for her to walk now , she sleeps most of the day and she lost her hearing, just not sure what I can do at this point. her appetite is gone to, she did eat chicken and rice tonight but it's a battle every day ! I am so afraid to lose her, but I am being selfish I think, we had her mom put down in 2013 and I swore I would never do that again 😢I've been so sad over this for weeks worrying about her, I feel like I can't let her go? Am I wrong? |

| I am so sorry. As our babies age it is so hard on us. Making decisions are never easy either. I will be praying for your baby.

| I am sorry for your baby and you. High BUN and creatinine levels are often a sign of failing kidney function. Did your vet recommend a prescription diet and meds? Treatment can possibly help and extend her life. The neurological symptoms could be related to declining kidney function. I would talk to your vet about diet and meds and go from there. If that is not an option or there is no change, then I would put her comfort first. I know that making the decision to let our pets go is the hardest part of loving them. Praying for your baby and you.

| How is your baby doing now ? I would see the vet ASAP as this could be anything from kidney issues to disc issues. |
