Kidney failure

My bichon has lost a lot of weight and now just lies in her bed although she is eating and drinking. Had her bloods done yesterday and vet said today she has very bad kidney failure. She is staying in vets overnight on iv drip. This ever happen to anyone and what was outcome? She perked up a little today so I just can't give in to euthanise her

Very good to know there is another group for this.
My cat had kidney failure  I was convinced by the vet to use fluids daily. He lasted another 6 months.
If I had it to do over again, I would not have done it. I think I may have prolonged his suffering.

Please join our special MedHelp Members Group for CHRONIC KIDNEY FAILURE IN DOGS User Group. You will be among people that all have had or do have dogs with kidney failure.

Once in the User Group area, please join it and then post any questions you have. I administrate the group and check it every day.
