Freckles 12 year old male with advanced Kidney Disease - Blood Level: BUN 140<, Creatine 21.1, Phosphorus 15< (Creatine went up in one monthyfrom 5.6). Two rounds of 3 to 4 day flushing. My Vet indicates that sub fluids may put Freckles in more distress and won't help but I have been doing anyway. Freckles is eating some, drinking a lot of water. He lost 1.25 lbs in one month. He does groom himself and is still affectionate. He walks about but it is obvious he is a bit wobbly. No medications offered now other than appetite pills. Ultrasound shows one kidney gone and the other enlarged apparently doing all the work.
Should I go for a second opinion or give up the battle and make Freckles as comfortable as possible? I am debating Uthinasia but something inside me is not convinced it is the right time now but I am not sure. Any suggestions or advice?
