I am so sad /an, my dogs kidneys are failing. My parents took her to the vet and are getting them flushed as best they can, but I was wondering if there is anything else we can do do help her out. I know its not likely.
pic related, its her playing ball right before her summer cut. we let her get shaggy in the winter as she is small.

I hear lower protein diets help. I don't know how that works with a dog tho...

dogs are omnivorous, cats are carnivorous.

They do make low protein dog foods for elderly or overweight dogs.

any good brands i should look out for? she will eat anything so long as it smells like food so having her switch to different things is not a big issue. Is that all I can do though?

replace the kidneys with brita filters, works fine for me, just make sure you replace them as guided.

mmmm violence. to bad it doesn't solve my problem which is how to keep my dog alive and happy for the longest time possible. I really really would like some more advice or uplifting stories... or pictures of shaggy dumb dogs that you love despite how retarded they are..

it's really selfish of you to keep your dog alive for the "longest time possible". who cares if her kidney failure leads to regular stressful and painful visits to the vet. what a hero you are.

send your parents to punch him, that is after they get back from taking your precious to the vet.

Hills Science Diet sells a Kidney formula. So does Royal Canine.
>> good news! OP
My dog came back from the vet today after her kidney flushing, according to the vet there was a significant improvement! also we now have a special dog food ordered from our vet that is supposed to help. In ten days we are going to take her back to have her kidneys checked and see how they are doing.

It was cute. the second she got home she wanted to play ball so we threw it for about five minutes, which is no where near as long as she is used to. When she was younger she would be able to play for hours, possibly more but we just can't keep up with her favorite hobby.
