I am sorry to hear about your dogs kidney failure and glad to help. I can you offer specific suggestions as far as diet, fluids and supplements if I am able to view your dogs the blood and urine results.

Please feel free to contact my veterinary office if you would like to discuss this further and understand there are many traditional and holistic options available which have proven quite effective for many dogs in kidney failure similar to yours.

Best Wishes,
Dr Carol Osborne, DVM
