When my last Sheltie had Kidney Failure I cooked her a homemade diet as I did not like the dog food choices for that but I had to learn the right ingredients, etc and what to give her that was safe. She loved that so much and got so much better for awhile she acted like a pup again! I never will forget the vet took her home on intensive care. Yes her home! How many vets will do that? But it was very stressful finding a vet that would work with us financially as all the other vets wanted to just let her die other than work with us except for this one vet. The expenses on treating Kidney Failure are very high..............The vet was great.
My first dog, a part collie when she was six months old the vet told me she would not live but two years because she was born with a heart defect. She lived to be almost 18 years old. I really miss all my pets that have passed on.
