Renal Failure

by Lesley Shirley

Oct 26, 2010

Help!! My old boy Blue ,almost 10, has just been diognoised with renal failure and I am told that there is little I can do but watch him lose yet more weight until I decide he can go on no longer!! In himself he is great, still active, eating and wanting walks, all but abit shorter now. I can feel every bone in his body and would love to hear from anyone who has had this and found anyway of making the last months more comfortable. Any help would be great, thanks.

    I am so sorry I missed this topic earlier... I am so sorry to hear about your boy. I have not experienced renal failure in my dogs but I really do hope that your little man holds on a lot longer than expected. 

    Please let us know how he is doing.

      So sorry to read this, such a sad time for any owner. I lost my blue boy in the summer, he was approaching 10 but went into heart failure, it is so awful when there is nothing you can do for them but that last act of kindness.

       

      Thinking of you.
