heart disease in dogs treatment
4 years of my old greyhound has been diagnosed in the early stages of nephritis.?
We got him a specially formulated low protein phospherous high and low diet to help slow the progression of the disease. But I know if someone else with a dog with the same condition had a little luck utilizing other treatments, etc. Also, and I know this is a piece of string question, but how long will a live dog (average and with care) if diagnosed in the early stages of the disease to death. Her illness and my heart he's a great dog, can help any body? Thanks
I have seen many dogs with nephritis. They can do very well on the special diet and fluids subcutaneously. If it gets worse, he must be seen immediately so that their values reviewed and placed on IV fluids. Do you know the source of nephritis? Sometimes, other illnesses may play a factor in the development of nephritis, such as disease Lyme and diabetes. If these conditions are present, the prognosis is more guarded. I have seen dogs live anywhere from 6 months to 2 years with kidney problems.
