    Ask your Vet for

    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.

    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.

    Thanks guys. He's doing okay, he really hasn't moved much since he came home, he's just been sleeping on his bed. Tried getting him to eat today and he repeatedly spit it out. He goes back first thing in the morning for more fluids.

    Oh Ashley, I am so sorry. I haven't been on Pet Talk much this week and I missed this completely. Prayers are going out immediately for you and Micki. Hopefully the doctors will find some improvement this morning and get him on the right diet and medicines.
