Spare a thought today for our little “Doll”. Molly is going into the vets today for further tests on her kidneys as she had a blood test yesterday and it showed up problems with her kidneys. We’re worried sick it has gone too far and are fearing the worst but trying to stay positive until we hear. She’s 7 years old now and she’s been loosing weight in the last couple of months without explanation her appetite hasn't decreased or increased, shes walking fine not showing any major signs of anything wrong but shes lost aout 10% of her bodyweight in 2 months and is very thin esp for a dog whos always struggled to keep weight down and would typically have been on “needs to loose a little weight” list. Now she was never fat just not thin and lean, shes spayed etc. We have done everything we could I think since we started noticing it we brought her to the vets and he felt she was in good shape and not too thin and that we should just monitor the weight over time. So weekly weigh ins for the last few weeks and then we decided enough was enough it needed further investigation. So bloods were taken yesterday and the results found a problem which needs a urine test today and whatever else they deem fit. I have no knowledge of kidney probs and must start my research as to the possible causes, prognosis, outlook and solutions etc. right now we’re just sick with worry and hope she’s gonna be ok.

Afraid the news is bad, its renal failure and the longterm outlook is bleak. we're distraught and will have to go in later to speak to the vet in detail about all our options but for now he is saying she will be treated as best we can and monitored over the coming weeks and months but its not something shes going to live with it is going to shorten her life significantly its a case of lottery as to how long she has left. afraid i am at a loss to say any more

Oh no, I am so, so sorry. I've got you all in my thoughts and will continue to hope against hope that she'll take very well to management and will ride it out much longer than expected. I'm so sorry that it wasn't better news...

I'm so so sorry to hear about Molly. We recently lost our Golden Maggie to kidney failure.

Did they give you any idea of why or what caused this??
