The outlook really doesn't look too well, I'm afraid I've been researching kidney failure for the last couple hours on the net and everything just seems to fit. First signs of increased water intake and urine production. He has been peeing in the house like crazy for the last couple weeks and we blamed it on my lazy siblings for not letting him out enough. I feel like an awful mother I should have realized something was wrong with him. And then signs of progressed kidney failure include vomiting, depression, refusing food, and bad breath. Everything fits. They flushed out his system with an IV and normal function may return for a few weeks/years, or no function at all...

But theres part of me (okay, all of me) thats hoping the bloodwork came back with high kidney levels just because he was dehydrated at the time...and he'll be okay...but that wouldn't explain why he stopped eating.

He is home now, and laying next to me. I have no idea whats going to happen. I have to bring him back tomorrow morning for additional blood work and more fluids.

Thanks for thinking of us, guys.

This thread is so hard for me to return to.

I am praying like the Dickens for MICKI!!!!

I will check back k9Krazee!!!!!

Metoclopromide to help control any nausea. Ask them for the appropriate dose of Zantac (rantidine) which you can buy OTC at any Walmart. The Vets may IV in some phosphorous binders tomorrow, and place the dog on an anti-hypertensive drug to help the kidneys function. You may have to keep him on the Hills k/d diet, with no added sources of phosphorous (e.g. bones) for the remainder of his life. Low protein diet but of high quality - hydrolized.

I am so sorry, your not a bad mom. Still praying and hoping, k9krazee! Micki please feel better, Please boy!

[lizbud]

Poor Micki The news doesn't sound good & I'd be worried too, but
lets hope the Vet discovers this is something that can be fixed, or at least
controlled with meds.I'll keep you both in my prayers for better news to
come.

Micki sorry to hear you are sick get well soon!

My Sadie is living with kidney disease due to old age and she is doing well on a special diet. It sounds like Micki's is quite sudden and I assume he isn't old? I hope it is just some bacteria infection that can be cured. If he does need to deal with kidney disease I found a lot of info at www.dogaware.com.

[Daisy and Delilah]

Gosh I'm so sorry I didn't see this before now. I do hope that everything turns out well and your little boy gets better asap!
Lots of healing prayers headed Micki's way.

Micki's been spending every single day from 8am-5pm at the Vet getting fluids...but tomorrow will hopefully be his last day!!! *does happy dance* He has DRASTICALLY improved within the last couple days! He's going back in the morning tomorrow to get another blood test and if it's okay, he's free to go!

Now if he would only start eating...
