Yesterday morning, I took Tasha to the vet for a followup lab work for chronic renal failure. It’s been two weeks since she was diagnosed.
The vet just called and the news is very good! Her BUN and creatnine levels are normal. Phosporous is OK. Thyroid is even OK. CK and anemia up a little, but acceptable, considering she is 15 years old fur cryin’ out loud. All this means her kidneys are working at normal levels!
We’ll cut back sub-q fluids (doggie dialysis) to 5 days per week, and continue her diet, accupuncture and herbs for now.
I’m very happy, and Tasha is getting around better, eating well, and seems to feel better than she has in a while. You should have seen her this morning, coming up the driveway almost at a run. Two weeks ago, she could barely walk.
Glory to God.

Great news Tasha – Collie hugs and sheltie snugs!Your pal Andee
Wow! That's impressive. Do you think the accupuncturist and or vet would treat me too? Congratulations to you, Kyle, your treatments and caretaking!
yay! good for you Tasha! keep eating those animal crackers — i'm sure that's what's helping you to get better! 🙂
