kidney failure, Is it time to put my dog to sleep?

My beautiful Pekingese dog called Tiger suddenly fell ill last week. I realized that when he didn't run to the door as i entered my home. I first met Tiger in October 2014 as a puppy. I was so proud to show him to all my family and friends on skype back home in Ireland. I recently got his blood titre test completed and am in the process of bring him with me to relocate to Ireland. I can't wait to bring him home to my family and friends. Everybody adores him here.such a beautiful boy. I am living in China far away from my family for the last 4 years. Tiger is now 2.5 years old. he is my pride and joy. I am not married, i have no children, so Tiger is like my family. All the family i need to keep me going here in China. He and i are not alone so long as we are together. He goes everywhere with me on my scooter. we walk in the park twice a day everyday. I work next to my home teaching, so we never went more than 3 hours apart.
So when i took him to my vet and couldn't understand a word the vet was saying, my friend who was trying to translate said it's bad. We ran a lot of tests, and i sent them to friends here who also knew some Vets. The all said its bad. his Bun level started at 65,then upto 140, 2 days later. I took him out of that hospital, as all the vets told me he was ripping me off.To take him to another hospital. so with the help of friends we start all over again with another hospital. This vet uses different technology, so ive got to convert the figures to compare to the first set of blood tests. trying to get answers to my questions is extremely difficult and painful. This came on so suddenly i think he was poisoned. but i don't know. From reading websites, people are saying its more compassionate to put him to sleep now. but the doctor wants to continue, but again i don't know if this is in Tigers best interests as there has been no improvement, he is still not eating. I have to inject my homemade mixture into his mouth but he really can't eat. the thought of putting him to sleep is so painful. The thought of buring him here and leaving him behind is too much for my heart to take. What should i do ?
