Feeding Tube - Canine

My dog was recently diaganosed with kidney failure.  She has been in hopsital 3x's getting fluids but when she gets home levels increase.  Vet is recommending a feeding tube because she is not eating or drinking. I understand the disease effects their appetities.  She is a beagle and used to eat everything!  Please share your experiences with this type of treatment.  Thank you!

I am so sorry you are having to deal with this.  I have no experience with feeding tubes.  If you look to the right of this page, click on Groups and you will see Chrionic Kidney Failure in Dogs. This is a wonderful and informative group tony has started.  You can pribabky find help and support there.  Good luck.
