  1. What did her diet consist of? It looks like Rehmannia is available here so I will ask my vet about it, but the regular vet had never even heard of Azodyl so I'm not confident that she would have heard of Rehmannia. What is the dosage? Cruz is on Rehmannia. Here's the dosing instructions: Start with 1/2 recommended dosage and increase over 3 - 5 days Dog Under 20 lbs 3 Pills 2 times per day 20 - 40 lbs 5 Pills two times per day Over 50 lbs 6 – 10 Pills two times per day I'm also giving him a homeopathic product by Newton homeopathics called Detoxifier. It's formulated for the kidneys and liver for symptoms associated with toxicity. I give him 6 drops per day on his food. I put him on Azodyl when he was first diagnosed, but he seems to be doing much better on the Rehmannia and Detoxifier right now. Here's a link for the Detoxifier: http://www.onlynatur...ier/161012.aspx I decided to try it after reading the reviews on this site and it has exceeded my expectations. Sending good thoughts for you and your sweet girl. I know how stressful this is. Aaaaand.... Detoxifier isn't available in Australia either. I can get it through eBay, but the sellers charge $20 for shipping, which is more than the cost of the actual product. . I'll have to get my sister in San Diego to send it to me---hopefully it will clear customs. So far I have only able to find the Rehmannia in a blend (http://www.vitaminwa...dney-Tonic.html). Is the one you're giving Cruz straight up, or in a blend of other stuff? This is the one I'm giving Cruz : http://www.onlynatur...#entry-overview I ordered it from this site, but it's available on others. He's still incontinent, but doing so much better in all ways otherwise. ETA: The ingredients in the Golden Book teapills I'm using and the Kidney Tonic in your link are similiar but not exactly the same.

    Zuki

    Oh no! My heart hurt when I saw his name in Remembrance. Your tribute to Zuki moved me to tears. I'm so sorry, Laura.
  3. I like Zeke a lot, but I say call him whatever you like best. He will learn to respond to a new name in a matter of days if you decide to change it. He's a very handsome boy. Congratulations!

  5. Have you joined the K9kidneys Yahoo group? They have tons of info there.
  6. I'm sorry to hear this. I'm going through the same thing with my galgo, Cruz.
  7. Like many GTers, I fell for Bee Wiseman from afar. I'm sorry she had to leave you so soon.
  8. Nature's Recipe Voluntarily Recalls Nature's Recipe Oven Baked Biscuits <img alt="" height="1" style="display:block" width="1" /> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - October 13, 2012 - Nature’s Recipe brand is voluntarily recalling a limited supply of Nature’s Recipe® Oven Baked Biscuits with Real Chicken, manufactured in one of its U.S. production facilities. This is being done as a precautionary measure, as the product has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.

  9. that you are able to manage it and you have many years together.
  10. I've not used arsenicum album, but have used several other homeopathic remedies for both my dogs and myself with good success. I particulary like Traumeel, a homeopathic analgesic, anti-inflammatory. It's worked well for me and for my dogs. And I've been really impressed with a combination by Newton Homeopathics simply called Detoxifier. My galgo was diagnosed with renal failure in June. The Detoxifier has really helped him. He doesn't need fluids nearly as often right now. Finding the right homeopathic remedy sometimes takes a couple of tries. I really like the idea of helping the body heal itself as it was designed to do. I hope this remedy works for him. If it doesn't, there might be another that will.
