We just had a 4 year old female (spayed) lab mix diagnosed with renal failure. It came on quickly but we are still not sure if it’s acute or chronic. Lepto has been ruled out.
We took her back to the sanctuary today to continue treatment. Current treatment is IV fluids, naxel (ceftiofur sodium) injection 1x day, prilosec 1x day.
This is our veterinarians treatment protocol that assuming she makes the weekend, will be evaluated Monday. I’d like to try to get a little more creative since the current prognosis is guarded at best.
Anybody got any thoughts ?
