My dog died from Kidney Failure 

I’m crying with u babe. You’re so strong for telling us this experience. ❤️ teddy is watching you and always with u. I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s heartbreaking.

My dog was 17 and I just had to put him down because of kidney failure. He wasn’t eating anything even his favorite foods and he couldn’t walk and his breath smelled like death. He was shaking and liquid would come out of his mouth. I’m not ok and I don’t think I ever will be ok. I can’t believe this is real. I can’t live without him. Life sucks

Just had to put my precious down girl 4 hours ago. I’m devastated, 3 days acute kidney failure. Sending hugs to you and anyone else who has recently love a 4 legged family member.

Please don’t feel awkward. We are crying with you. We feel your pain as most of us is going thru the same with our dogs. Thank you for being so brave to talk about it.

My dog passed today after 4 weeks of battling with acute kidney failure. I'm still asking myself how and why. She's only 5 yrs old. So hard to see her suffer.. So hard to see her go.

I’m dealing with kidney failure as well as canine cognitive disease and my dog is 17 years old. Honestly I feel she is experiencing a rapid decline in quality of life. Drastic measures and vet visits and care to simply extend her life a few months is not that appealing. If she were a younger animal it would be a different situation. She’s my best friend and the thought of loosing her is devastating. That said, simply prolonging her pain and misery for my own selfish wants is something I think I will decline. I guess in an ideal world we would all (pets and people) pass peacefully and easily, but that’s not normally the case. I feel for your loss and appreciate this video to help others in similar situations. It’s not east watching an animal suffer.

My chihuahua Chico died July 30, 2023 from kidney failure. It was a hurt I never felt before. Chico had a seizure then died later that morning. I miss him sooooooo much. The grief is unbearable. Trying to find peace....Forever is a long time, thats how long i will love him. RIP MY LIL BOY....UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN ❤

These little ones tear our hearts in a million pieces! Just had to let one go a few weeks ago and feeling so sad! Much love!!

Thank you for sharing this, my dog has had CKD since he was 8 years old. He's 12 now, and recently he was not his usual self and we went to the vet to find out his CKD levels were not good, the very next day he had a seizure and I was alone, I 100% feel you it was the scariest thing ever (i googled and found that they aren't in pain when they go through a seizure, which made me feel a tiny bit relieved). I'm so sorry for your loss! I can only imagine how you feel, and my dog is still struggling with it and fighting on. If anyone out there is watching this and reading this too, it's good to get an annual blood test to ensure their levels are in check, and also take supplements such as Renal by Candioli & Omega 3 & 6 to aid the kidneys, ensure their meals have enough moisture with high quality nutrients (not just dried kibbles, their not good enough). I work in the pet care line and I cannot emphasise how supplements are so important because dogs especially their immune system works very differently and they lick all kinds of bacteria. A lot of the issues start in the gut. Dogs don't have a long lifespan, they really teach us a lesson before they go, and I know for a fact he had the best life with you, we can see how you care for him in just one video! Stay strong babe!!!

I’m in the parking lot right now Iam about to lose my dog I don’t know what to do this is going to hurt but I don’t know what to do but spend money

My dog just died of kidney failure two days ago, we also had made the decision to end her suffering; and her symptoms were just as you had described. I’m sorry you went through this, it truly is hell

My little baby Carmen, 16 year old Teacup Poodle 🐩 transitioned in my arms this morning... I'm so grateful to hold her in my arms during her last hour and watched her take her last breath..

Im sorry for your loss. My dog pepper just died yesterday due to kidney failure. Its devastating. Praying for healing to all human parents who lost their furry friends 😢😢😢

Me and my wife is going through this now. Our boy is 17 1/2 yrs old he would of been 18 in October 8th. Tomorrow is the day me and my wife agree to put him to rest peaceful. Me and my wife been crying on and off over the last week. He’s been here with the both of us almost our hole marriage. We been married for almost 20 yrs. Tomorrow will definitely be a very hard day. 😢

Thank you for sharing your story, my 14 year old Corgi was just diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease, and your video really helped me.

Your crying is NOT awkward. I’m a 51 year old man who walks around listening to death metal music like a “tough guy”. Let me tell you I have been crying at home, at work, I’m my car, pretty much everywhere. I’m barely eating and barely sleeping. My yorkie, coco, an 11 year old male, was slowing down a bit but other than that fine. He pushed open our bedroom door this past Mother’s Day with his nose like he always does and my wife and I noticed blood drops on the floor coming from the right side of his face. There was an abscess under his hair that cut open when he opened the door (he has been opening the doors like that for years). It was a Sunday, regular vet closed, so we took him to the emergency vet. I walked him before we went. He was walking/running fine. Barking at everything in sight like usual. Hospital said it was an abscess due to a tooth infection. They shaved around the abscess, drained it, called me and said all is well and are going to give me medication for the pain and infection, and I can pick him up. Not 5 minutes later, EVERYTHING changed. They called me back, saying “we just checked your dogs blood and the level is very high indicating dehydration, possibly from kidney disease. Im thinking “why did they tell me all is well BEFORE checking his blood?” Now they sent him home with other medications. Gabapentin, however it’s spelled being one and the other n medicine I can’t recall the name. Both in liquid form. Got home. Started the medication that night. Keep in mind he was walking FINE that day.by the following morning he could barely even stand up, let alone walk. I then took him to our regular vet the next day. They think it’s stage 2 or 3 kidney disease. He seems comfortable, but shakes a lot when he is awake. Bringing him for more testing tomorrow. What the hell?????

I am so sorry. I lost my Yorkie Daffodil in 2020 as well. (6 days after my MOM passed). I know just how hard this is. It's 3 years later and it still is really tough. I often feel her brushing up against me or trying to get on th ebed.

Thank you for posting this video.I just lost my beloved dog from kidney failure as well.We had to put him to sleep because he was declining so fast.As much as I want to keep him longer by giving him IV fluids and forced feeding, my family decided not to prolong his agony.We had to put him to sleep at home.Our vet came to our home and he just slept in my arms.He did not even feel the shot. I am still grieving and feels miserable.I miss my baby so much. Watching your video made me feel that we did the right thing. I feel your pain. It is so hard to lose a pet, they are family.They bring us so much joy and unconditional love. Thank you for telling your story about your beloved pet.

Going through this right now. I’m depressed and don’t even want to do anything. My sweet baby is dying and there’s nothing I can do but pray 😢

I had to put my baby Harley to sleep on August 27, 2020 from kidney failure it was the most horrific day of my life and I will never ever recover until I meet with him when it’s my time to go in heaven! The Bible says according to your faith be at unto you and I believe with all of my heart he is waiting in heaven at the door for me! I cry every single day I miss him desperately! We put him to sleep in our bedroom on our bed where he always liked to sleep my husband and I were both right down at his face looking into his eyes petting him and talking to him and just before he fell asleep he licked both of our noses I am absolutely devastated my sweet sweet baby is not with me!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I can relate, my dog just died today.. a 15 years old husky... still crying my heart out

Your story sounds so much like mine. I have been scrolling RU-vid trying to find something. This does not give me a good resolution, but we are doing the same.... pumpkin, chicken broth.... she refuses to eat even with hard hitter hunger stimulants. She is only 6 and is a shihpoo (half shitzu) ugh. This sucks. We have been doing IV fluids at home daily (200mg), antibiotics, and we are not seeing any improvement. I wish there was something. I thought for sure she was young enough that these interventions would make her come back fast. Did you ever hear of anything else since you lost yours?

You're so strong girl. Thanks for opening up and sharing your experience doll ! She lived a beautiful 13 years filled with loads of love ! 💜🙏🏽

my dog got diagnosed with stage 4 kidney failure today 😔

Thanks for the video, I know what I am going to face. I have shi tzu too, and recently diagnosed kidney failure too. The doctor instantly suggest me to go for euthanasia, but my dog's condition still pretty early, I don't think it's time to give him up. I hope you can get better, it's so hard. I understand.

I am going thru it now with my dog. Thanks you for the video. You will see them on the other side. ❤RIP

She was adorable. I watched your video, and i started crying as your baby reminded of my maltese who i lost almost a year ago. Beautiful video you made of her. So sorry about your loss.

hi my dog is almost 14 and was diagnosed about same as your dog and he also has cushings….im confused if its time or not but if you knew what you know before you had to put your baby down would you have done it sooner before it got worst? thank you for posting a video like this

My fur-sister (a white miniature poodle) died on August 27, 2023 (a week ago). The most difficult choice of my life was to choose to put her down, but the most selfless choice was to allow her to be free from this world and join my mother on the other side. My fur-sister went though most of what you are stating within the last 4 days of her life. So, I didn’t lose her last Sunday, I had actually lost her like 4 days prior because she wasn’t herself anymore. The only way to be at peace was to give her everlasting life. But the vet stated that she had kidney failure due to old age. I had family that wanted to imply that she died from other things like cancer or diabetes, but I’m at peace with what the doctor said and leaving it at that. She lived to be 12 years old, and that was all of my 20s and the first couple of years of my 30s. She was truly my mother’s second daughter.

My little Chihuahua passed this past Sunday around 6am, I adopted him in 2011 with 1 year old, in 2013 he was diagnosed with Kidney failure, such a beautiful boy we loved him so much our house looks so empty without him.

Crying with you, I’m so sorry for your loss… I’m going through this nightmare right now and my heart is in pieces

Hi, I'm in awe on how strong you are for telling your story, know that your baby love you and is happy crossing the rainbow bridge, Our chihuahua "kendra" who is our family's entire world and is 10 years old right now was diagnosed with kidney diseas back in 2020, it broke our hearts knowing we must be more strict/careful with her food from that on and her diet consists of only Royal Canin Renal dog food (Wet/Loaf Type) and some chiken, she is a very picky eater and without monitoring/forcing she would just ignore and leave, Four days ago she suddenly got very weak and we brought her to the vet for checkup, we got the meds and its been 4 days now and she's still very lethargic, I'm so depressed right now.

Its crazy how 2 years later im hearing ur story. Im 16 and my dog is going through some of these symptoms and its looking alot like kidney failure... i dont if it is or not but hearing ur story im going to urge my mother to take him to the vet becuase i dont know what i would do without him. Thank ufor sharing your story all though its incredibly hard and we could all tell...❤

I’m so sorry hun!!!! My heart goes out to you. I know the pain too well. My 17 year old chihuahua was just diagnosed this month with the same however the vet totally missed he was also anemic. Luckily his cardiologist caught it. His kidney failure was brought upon by his arthritis medication called metacam or meloxcam. I must ask, was your baby on any medication, flea/tick treatment? Because these are known to cause kidney and liver failure. I’m surprised the doctor didn’t recommend or put her on renal food as well as aluminum hydroxide which helps flush out the toxins such as phosphorus from the kidneys. The aluminum hydroxide is a binder that aids in this overall treatment. My baby is on fluids twice a week and I’ve got his anemia under control as it was causing him to have respiratory distress. I still can’t believe the vet missed it. I know your baby is in heaven but I do hope this information is helpful should you be blessed with another furbaby. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

My girl Suzie just passed in my arms Saturday Dec 30, 2023. She had kidney failure...I did not know the early signs...she passed within 6 days after being admitted to the hospital...thank you for this video...I am spreading the word now. Here is the memorial video I made of her. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T9MgOpUdofY.htmlsi=js3kqcTgzGMo65Ew

The vet told us today that our dog, Alamo, doesn’t have much longer to live. He has kidney failure. He is everything to us.

You're video is so informative. I lost my baby, Sissy, on 6-30-21. She was drinking a lot of water her last two years. I knew something wasn't right but I didn't have the money to get her treated. I'm battling guilt right now. She had renal failure and she also was lethargic. And as I watch this, you are crying. I'm sorry you lost your baby. I'm broken and lost without sissy. I pray GOD helps me.

My doggie ate only the food I would put down his throat for about 4 months. (the only exception was pepperidge farm pecan cookie) It was renal can food from the vet, and he sat infront of me, me on a small stool. I had a plate of bite size portions and would put it down his throat one by one. There were a few "ejections", not easy all the time, but doable, but careful not to hold the mouth shut. It only got a bit messy, but after a while he got used to it, as this was eating for him, breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. We made a you tube of this to show others how it's done, but honestly although it's been 18 weeks since he was put down (I'm still counting in weeks!) I have not had the courage to view it. Putting a doggie down is hard, but a duty. The mind plays tricks of guilt and doubt-that's normal. Do the best you can and just remember the love.

Thanks for sharing your experience. My dog is 13yr vet just told me it's her kidney beginning. You told me what to expect it's heart breaking. I just pray to my Lord Jesus to be kind and merciful to us.God bless you.

I had to take my dog to get put to sleep on sunday at 13 years old. He was a corgi jack russel mix. He was only diagnosed with kidney failure last Thursday after i noticed that his energy levels went down, he was missing meals for over a day, was vomiting and diarrhea in the house daily (he was trained for the majority of his life) we checked him into a dog hospital on Friday to be put on fluids. They also put him on pain killers. We visited him later on friday and he was fine & eating. By Saturday he looked like he was in pain, crying and wouldn't eat. They discharged him from the hospital on Sunday, saying that his blood levels in his kidneys have decreased (which is a positive sign) however, when we took him home on the Sunday he was screaming for the 8 hours he was at home. He had a very bad smell to him, wouldn't eat, we had to force feed him water, when i took him on his final walk he was incontinent. He would pee on himself and was behaving like a zombie, he didn't know where he was and was struggling to breathe. We made the decision to take him to be out to sleep that evening. i held him in his final moments before they injected him and he looked me in the eyes. I feel so horrible and guilty for his death. Part of me feels like it was my fault for taking him into the hospital to be put on fluids for the kidney flush. He died days before my birthday (today) and ive been at home crying every day and watching these kind of videos to cope with my grief. 😢😢😢

This was very helpful...I am going this this right now with my lil Sasha...I am so heartbroken.

Tips to avoid kidney issues in dogs. Avoid completely Grains Vaccines much food that isn't high quality raw animal products Get Your dog plenty of exercise Always access to quality water and unless there's a traumatic injury, avoid any vet that doesn't agree with the above.

I just put my dog down today. My dog was diagnosed with first acute kidney failure, then chronic kidney failure then cancer then xrays shows the lungs doing poorly and he was so weak he dropped 20 pounds within a week he whimpered trying to get up. I just couldnt let him live like that anymore i spent almost 4,000 dollars trying to save him. He was my best friend and my family. RIP Dax. I plan to creamate him and also put his dog tags into a necklace. Btw i have no idea how he got sick i started to notice him getting strange this past 3 weeks 11/5/23 till 11/24/23. He was only 3yrs old and 11 months nearly 4 yrs old. Thats to young. It hurts so much for me and my kids. They were suppose to move out / grow up then the dog slowly passes but nothing like this and how hard it hit him. ❤love you dax rather it be me then him anyday.

I feel your pain. My 13 yr old Border Collie died from CKD-chronic kidney disease just a few days ago. I wish I had her euthanized but she died on Sunday night and there was nothing left I could do for her. She suffered greatly and it was awful. My heart is broken like yours. Thank you for sharing your experience.

I wish I could give you a hug right now. My dog passed on 1/21/21 at approximately 12:11 am. She had several seizures which I think were a result of her kidneys and other organs failing. The moment I asked her to hang on and laid my hands on her, she took her last breath. She was 14.5 years old. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. If you want to reach out to for support, I'm here. Just let me know ❤❤

My 11 year old dog just passed away Saturday. He had diabetes and we were treating it with insulin. He then started getting worse and we decided it was time to say goodbye so we were going to call the vet at 8am so we could get it done at home but he passed away at 5:40am. It was the worse seeing his body shutting down. I felt hopeless. I cried seeing him in so much pain. I wish I had more time with him. I miss him so much and my heart aches 😢

I’m sorry for your loss, and thank you for sharing your experience! Today, my dog was diagnosed with kidney failure, and the thought of losing her makes me so sad. I don’t even want to imagine what you went through 🥺

My dog baby of 11 years I had him since he was 2 months passed away of kidney failure on Friday it hurts me that the vets wouldn’t even treat without 1000s of dollars which I did spend the money and he still died I’m so deeply hurt he started showing symptoms in September 7 and I started carrying him to the doctor back and forth because he wouldn’t eat and had so many symptoms even trouble walking and I’m so sad I didn’t know he was gonna die a month and half later he declined quickly 😢and he died Friday Oct 20 2023 I had to put him down people who aren’t dog owners won’t understand this is the worst pain I ever felt

I understand your pain....I had a dog who accidentally ate a raisin and a month later died of kidney failure! it was so horrendous....our vet couldnt come to put him down whem we needed him to because our vet had covid at the time when we tried to call him.....we had to let him suffer and die. it was aweful, but thankfully it was only one long night and he passed early in the am. such a heart wrencing disease, especially if it goes acute before you know what is happening....we live rural and had just been in to see the vet and found out he had failing kidneys, a week later he was losing his life in spite of antibiotics and fluids....the timing of our vet getting sick was terrible.....raisins and grapes are straight up poison to dogs. no joke. I am sorry for your loss.

Fresh and simple is best for diet. I have been giving my 14 yr old dog tinctures of dandelion and milk thistle for detoxing the liver and kidneys. She was diagnosed with heart failure and the research I did made me realize her kidneys and liver were compromised because of toxins. At present, she is off all prescriptions and doing okay. Research, please don’t settle for drugs. There are a lot of naturopathic plants that can heal and address the symptoms and heal to give them quality life.

Going through this now. Bless you.

Im going through this rn... my baby girl has been in intensive fluid therapy, she only eats when we feed her and most of the time doesn't want the food so she has to be forced fed, then she throws up. As she mentions, she has happy periods but it follows with her losing her breath really fast. This is so heart breaking. We suspect she drank water contaminated with bacteria, and just caught it too late. She is just a year old, she had so many more places to see, beach trips, parks to run and play in, hikes to go on. It is just not fair :(

My girl passed from end stage kidney failure and seizures the week before she turned 17. She was going to start on home-based intravenous fluids when she passed suddenly. She too was pacing at nights and pressing her head against corners

I am dealing with this right now with my angel girl. She is almost 14 and also has Addison’s and heart failure. Now kidney disease. I am heartbroken but tomorrow she may cross the rainbow bridge. This is soooo heartbreaking

my dog was 7y diagnosed with stage 4 kidney failure, she was at the vet many days for fluids, she was doing better sometimes for days and even for 2 months . The last time she spend 4 days on fluids at the vet, she was great , eating normal, no vomiting or diarrhea and the next day she could not walk anymore !! I called the vet and i had to put her to sleep this Tuesday.

The key you mentioned towards the end on the video is "suffering". Today, I put down my old kitty of 15 years. (not pictured on my profile) She had hyperthyroidism which caused more than one chronic condition but in the end it was her chronic kidney disease that caused her poor health. We put her down today at our local vet and it is never easy doing the `right' thing. As much as I would have wanted to keep her at home, she was suffering from pain, and was refusing to eat. Vet and I tried several meds but she lost too much weight and after three days, she was beyond recovery. My kitty was not the first to live beyond 15 yrs nor the first to be put down due to suffe from disease. I know she is in a much better place and we are grateful for her lifetime of love.

You described everything that happened with my Willy baby to a tee… thanks for your strength to share ❤

Thank you for sharing your story. I had to let go of my 10 yr old mini doxie today due to kidney failure. She had chronic uti’s which I think led to ckd. Too many dogs with kidney disease

Just found this video.My dog is very very sick..The thing is,she was given a Canine Corina Virus immunization 2x without my consent.Since both shots she totally went downhill..I'm so hurt.Im seeking out an attorney about it.I never knew there was a corona vax for dogs.So sorry to hear about your dog..Stay strong..

We r waiting for the call to see if it’s diabetes or kidney failure I’ve been crying

I've had 2 dogs pass.with kidney failure

she’s in heaven with Christ 🙏🙏

Better quality pet food helps too. Start researching now before we rescue another pup.

My dog died last night from a neck brake I miss her so much it’s hard to think about crying we only got her for 3 months😢

Thank you for sharing a very heartfelt personal loss of your sweet adorable girl. The ending song broke me I've lost my baby last year haplessly waste away and nothing can be done... was a beautiful tribute in her memory of her life and the love you shared never dies. You did well !! Much respect and condolences to you 🌬❤🙏💐

I'm crying for you. OMG, you are so brave to share this heart breaking experience with us. Let me say that you did your absolute best for your fur baby. Words are of little comfort when going thru such a traumatic challenge. My mom had Dementia for 7 years, I cared for her and know that wretched disease well. Now, my 14 year old Yorkie is having kidney challenges. Thank you for educating me on "what I will/may " be challenged with now. GOD BLESS YOU!!💕

Did you feel any guilt ?Because I do over mine having to be put down.

💔😢 My 17 year old dog is going through kidney failure journey now

I am so sorry for the loss of your fur baby. We are going thru kidney failure with our yorkiepoo. It is heart breaking. We know our baby’s time is getting short. I feel so bad for you and your husband.

Had my dog died in my arms I was trash for not checking on him I'm trash my mom now my best friend

I am so sorry for your loss...

Its same thing I am going through with my dog.. No words😢😢😢

Thank you for sharing your story and your lovely dog Teddy with us. I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my bull lurcher to stage 3 kidney failure on 16 April 2021 we had to make the hard decision to say goodbye. Our dog was very old we think about 15 he was a stray and chose us as his parents. We had the pleasure of loving him for 8.5 years. He was the most beautiful dog ever. He was only diagnosed with kf 3 weeks before he passed but we are so pleased at least he got to old age. I am so pleased that Teddy lived to a good age too. “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened”. Run free Simba my beautiful gentle “big lad” xxxx

Thank you for sharing this I just my best friend my Australian Red dog I'm so so sad I love dusty was very beautiful but I love animals but dog is humans best friend when love Thank you telling people my dog dusty pass away in the vet on 23 Friday we are from the bush so I took him back to his home in the bush so painful.

Bless you I am experiencing the same Pain.

Sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing this invaluable advice . I feel your pain xxx

I just lost my 16 Year old Mini Poodle Bitzy to Kidney Failure on August 3rd , she was in pain and I couldn’t stand to see her like that any longer so we had to say goodbye💔 … had her since I was 8 , I am 24 now and she has left a hole in my heart that will never heal …. Bitzy and Teddy are in Puppy heaven, because that’s where they belong .. Little Angels 💕

It's very hard. My fur baby is in this stage.

We are going thru the exact same thing . Our vet was not very good at giving us real information. We went thru the IV treatments all of that it didn’t help .I believe that dental care was the root cause of his problems. He hated hated hated getting his teeth cleaned so instead of forcing the issue we did what we he would let us do I regret not pushing him . He’s 14 he’s been healthy otherwise so today September 5th 2021 we are having to put him down .

Rest in peace Teddy!!!

.. GOD-BLESS "TEDDY" .. I Know How Much You Loved Her .. So Sorry That You Had To Say "Good-Bye" .. That Is Such A Devastating Decision To Have To Make .. One Question.....Did Your Veterinarian Regularly Check "Blood-Pressure" in Teddy...? .. 3-weeks-ago I was taking some of my older-dogs to my Veterinarian, to get their Blood-Pressures checked, and on that day my 8-year-old dog "Goodie-Good" began vomiting, so I included her in our trip to the Vet to get her examined, and to get her Blood-Pressure checked, too.......She had a full, annual exam, with a Full-Panel Blood Test, and I asked my Vet to check her "Blood-Pressure", and sure enough, the Blood-Test showed that her Kidney Values were Super-High, way out of normal, and her "Blood-Pressure" was Very-High at ..( 205-over-150 )....The High-Blood-Pressure was destroying her Kidneys .. I had never asked to have her Blood-Pressure checked, and I am So-Sorry that I never had this done during her annual exams.....I just did not think of it, and my Veterinarian never suggested it....I am treating my dog at home with IV-Fluids, and with Sub-Q-Fluids, hoping that her Kidneys are still "salvageable" and that she will live for another year, or more ... Best To You ...."Teddy" was lucky to have You.

Yes this story does help, thanks for sharing. Also reading all the posts. i just had to rewrite my comment as i was here trying to write something about my dogs kidney diagnoses. My dog just passed, I still had a little hope. I’m so much shock because he was fine on monday, now he is gone. It’s hard to loose Brownie, he was with me through many tough times, he was always reliable. Hope i get the courage to make a video, I still can’t believe it. That he is gone. Only comfort is that it was here at the home and not at a cold hospital. My dad also loves Brownie, not sure how he is going to take it. I’m not telling him till the morning, But i know he is going to take it really badly. I’m still in shock.

people dont realize garlic is bad for dogs too, even in small amounts it adds up over time to kidney damage. my french bulldog is going through this right now.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am in the same situation now with my 15 year old Lhasa apso. Tomorrow is the day we'll let him sleep. Decided to do it at home where he's most comfortable. I'm so heart broken hope I'll have the same strength as you tomorrow.

My 13 year old dog is having eng stage kidney failure now and all of a sudden we're going to have to put him down in a couple days to end his suffering... 🥲

Why would you wait so long to put her down

My dog is spending her third night in the hospital with kidney failure and is coming home tmro. We are going to be administering fluids to her. She is 13 but we’ve old had her for less than 2 yrs because her previous owner didn’t have time for her. It’s very sad. I hope we can have more time with her and she is not in pain.

She did not understand what you were doing. If they are dieing let them die. Anything else is torture! Please be kind!

I’m very sorry for your loss, I found your video after frantically looking for anything I could do to help my 12 year old Chihuahua. I took him to my vet after he was vomiting up almost every meal he ate and he was just not the same playful little dog. He had no energy and just wanted to sleep. He lost his appetite for his food all his favorite treats. His blood tests show Bun of 58.6 mmol/L and Creatinine of 926 mmol/L. Today is his first day in the hospital for aggressive Iv fluid treatment but I’m not sure he will pull through as he was eating very little before I brought him in. I’m praying that I can at least get a few more weeks or months with him before I too say goodbye. Thank you for being brave enough to share your painful experience. I don’t think I could do it without falling apart.

I am currently undergoing this crisis, my son’s health is deteriorating.. he’s a 10 Rottweiler. inshAllah he’ll get better

I am grieving just as you are.

Thank you for sharing your story. I am going through the same situation and I am very afraid. I am on a stage that she is having a hard time getting her meds and she is not eating her food, just chicken and we know that's high protein. I wanted to ask if you had to go to the clinic to get her fluids or was that a treatment that you were able to do from home?

Thank you for making this video. My senior dachshund kidney values showed the beginning of kidney issues and she's been having seizures- every three or four months. She had one last night but has been pacing for the last few days. She can't have a dental cleaning and so they offer pulse therapy- antibiotics- every 3 months or so. She also has a heart murmur. She will be 19 on the 19th of June. I have a 22 year old kitty with CKD, who gets fluids every day. I give my little dog CBD oil, and lemon balm extract once the seizure to seems to be accelerating instead of easing. This one lasted from 3AM to 530 AM. She's really exhausted today but improving. When it's time we will do what needs to be done. We had to put her previous companion kitty down a few years ago. He was 19 and I found him as a kitten, abandoned by his mom, his eyes were still blue and he had to be bottle fed. That night the little dog & I went to bed and it was hard that the kitty was gone. He would wait until we settled and then come in the room, turning on the motion sensor night lights. I sort of whispered how I wished the lights would come on and they did! His little spirit is still with us turning those lights on every night when we're settled. It's not the kitty we have now because she's in her spot when it happens. They still hang with us if you take the time to notice. I would always feel my little guy walk into the room before I saw him (still in his body then) . They never leave us, just leave the suffering container.

My dog is at the vet now every day for a week rinse the kidneys today is the last day I pick her up tonight ik so scared her levels get up again when we stop i cook every morning and evening for her now I need Some food tips I cook healthy for her but need more info ❤

I have a dog, 13 year old border collie mix, who recently got diagnosed with kidney failure. She's currently doing really well, and it hasn't been going on for long. As I got her tested for it in late February or early March this year, and the test came back negative back then, but early stage in November. I'm scared of how it'll go, further down the line, but I just hope she passesof natural causes before it gets bad. I don't want her to experience it, but I don't want to be the one ending her life too soon if she's still got life in her. We changed her diet, gives her supplements, and I'm doing so much research regarding the disease. Our dogs deserve the best. Also, while I did research, I found out that bad diet can be traced back from kidney failure. It's not been done enough research on as for now tho, but dry, low quality food can be the cause. In zoo's, they've found out why captive big cats get kidney failure, when those in the wild don't. Big cats in zoos get fed more often than those in the wild. So they've started testing if that theory is correct, by zoos feeding them fewer times, but with big meals, like they do in the wild. Gonna take a few years to see if it's correct, but if they suspect the feeding schedule is the reason, it's not far off for people to think it's the same for our house cats and dogs.

Thank you for sharing your baby's journey. I ambheart broken hearing your story because my own furbaby was recently diagnosed with stage 2 CKD and no one ever discusses how the progression of the disease will be. I guess they dont want to worry me but knowing in advance, although it does make me extremely sad, it also calms me because i feel like we can prepare for the worst now the best that we can. If i didn't know in advance and my baby started having seizure, i think i might have a panic attack while watching it. But now, that i am warned, i am hoping i won't. Hoping 🤞. Ps. My vet said it could also be hereditary in older dogs. My only prayer to God is to let her go peacefully in her sleep and to not make it so bad that i have to be the one to make the decision. That is so much harder on me.

Thank you for sharing. I'm so sorry for what you went through. It sounds like you were an awesome dog Mama. Our 12 year old dog was recently diagnosed with kidney failure. I haven't experienced this before. So didn't know how the disease progresses, what the signs are that say Goodbye is immanent. Thank you for this! Hugs
