My dog is so ill

We thought it was a heart murmur but the vet has run some bloods and told us she has chronic kidney failure.
She is on a drip and will be all weekend, I'm beside myself. It really doesn't look good.

Was your dog affected by the food recall? That has got to be terrible. Hopefully everything will work out and your dog will be well.

OMG, how old is your dog and what food did you feed her? I'm sorry to hear this and I hope she improves.

Re: My dog is so ill

The vet hasn't mentioned anything about the food, I don’t think the UK food has been affected by this recall; she has been on bakers complete not any of the affected foods

It’s been awful seeing her on the drip, please send positive vibes for her.

Re: My dog is so ill

So sorry to hear of your dog's illness. Several people I have chatted with have given their dogs IV fluids for renal disease. My Shih Tzu was diagnosed about 6 weeks ago. He is on a low protein diet, and his 6 week follow up vet panel, showed a 50% improvement in his BUN and a .5 drop in his creatinine.

Sending good vibes your way. Virginia

Re: My dog is so ill

She has shown a little improvemnet but the vet is concerned that as soon as she come off the drip she will deteriorate again.
I feel really awful, it's so bad seeing her like that. When i sit down I just cry.

They have assured me she is not in any pain, and is not suffering.
