End Stage Renal Failure - Options for Maintenance for 12 year old

[jppoleszczuk]

Hi everyone, my dog was diagnosed with end stage kidney failure.  In reading the blogs about what has worked, meds, food etc, it gets over whelming.  She is a 12 year old I rescued at 10, so our time together has been short.  
She is showing all of the symptoms - not eating, barely drinking, shivering.  I have given her Carafate to stop the bloody diahrea (going on day 2 with no blood), cerenia for nausea and am rehydrating her under her skin.  
Can anyone help me decipher what a good recommended course of action would be?  She ate a bit of chicken yesterday and some giblets but I do know that a high protein diet is the last thing she needs right now.  

Any help would be appreciated.  I am a wreck....

Wow, My beloved dog just had to be put down for kidney failure but he must have been in stage 1 because he was eating up a storm and did not have those symtoms except drinking alot and peeing alot. My vet told me that even if they did treat Rocky, he would not live more than 3 to 6 months because renal failure is fatal. There is no cure, just treatment. And it can be expensive. My dog was suffering and I DID not want to put him down but I knew it would not get better. They did it Nove 14, 2016. A vet came to my house and he was in my arms. I buried him in my back yard. It has been only a week and I have been really  hurting with grief. I talk to him all the time like he is here. I call my other dog his name and forget he's not here. He was with me for almost 15 years.

But I know I will see him again in Heaven with Jesus. Jesus knows how much we loved each other.
