Chronic Kidney Disease
My 4 year old Rotty mix, Volk, was just diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease last week. I know his chances are slim, but he is a little warrior. I've been looking into different diets and supplements that can help. He has always been a special needs dog because of the abuse caused by his previous owners. I know he will always need extra care, but my little man wants to run and play with everyone else. He is currently on antibiotics, anti-nausea, prilosec, sub q fluids, and a renal diet. There may be more, but I'm so frazzled I can't remember right now. What can I do to increase his chances of survival/longevity?
