Success Story

"Should I let her go?" the owner asked me. Serum creatinine levels were at 12 mg/dL and it was brought down to 2

This is a big deal especially when there are multiple causes to be addressed

Chronic Kidney Disease in dogs is a nightmare to some pet owners simply because of the suffering that a patient has to go through from the time of diagnosis

Case details: a 7 year old intact female Labrador Retriever. Serum creatinine of 12 mg/dL. Zero appetite. Tired

It was a client referral and the dog was already on medication for high serum creatinine levels for a month

By then, she was entirely on two commercial renal diets, antibiotics injections and a daily IV dose of normal saline and glucose

I had to untangle the knots one by one to come to a proper diagnosis

History and Diagnostic tests revealed an enlarged heart (DCM) and altered blood chemistry

Diagnosis: chronic kidney disease with dilated cardiomyopathy who was also in an acute kidney disease by then

"We can't let her go now itself", I said because I saw myself saving her (not out of exaggeration)

🎬 Execution :
I had to manage her appetite, dehydration and blood counts while keeping the heart, lungs and the kidneys safe

   ✅ tailored nutrition plan 98% home cooked
   ✅ on oral Pimobendan (for DCM)
   ❌Gradually discontinued commercial renal diets
   ❌ Not a single injection

📈 Outcome :
2 months later
- serum creatinine at 2 mg/dL
- great appetite
- great energy
