    Kidneys

    usually can not heal themselves. But if you can stop or dramatically slow the progress of the disease, there is excess capacity to draw upon. The equivalent of one kidney works as well as two. The trick is to keep it from getting any worse (e.g. repeated secondary infections).

    Get puppy on acid blockers and anti-nausea medication.

    yeah she has been on pepcid for about 6 months for acid reflux , which we thought was this case. usually she will not eat suddenly ,give a pepcid and next day fine. but 2 to 3 weeks ago when this started the next day she did not get better, then 2 more days and off to vet for xrays and bloodwork which turned up high creatine and bun. the biggest prboelm is she will not eat hills kd ,or royal renal food, she just wont eat it and she has to eat a low protein diet , vet even gave me some chicken paste no protein to mix in food but no go . today at vets her bun levels were down a bout half what they were 2 days ago ,this after givng sub fluids at home. she just has so many probs, ths acid reflux thing has been going on over a year, today he gave me a liquid called clemasoemthing ,it helps with enzemes and acids. i have to give to her 2 hours before any other meds. she ate alittle tonight no much . we are in a battle but she is a fighter. and hardheaded. the biggest 4 pound fighter anyone would ever see. thank you again for your info . i will update.

    As for food, the Purina veterinary diet NF also makes a canned NF, which maybe you can mix and see if she'll eat that.

    I'm having the same problem with my dog. She was recently diagnosed with kidney disease.

    She wont eat the kd food.

    Anyone have a list of the kinds of (people) food that is ok to feed her?
