My vet left a message with Gus's lab results. She said all his numbers are good except his kidneys are starting to show signs of decline. I don't have the numbers and I haven't spoke to her directly yet, but I'm distraught over the fact that he is on the verge of developing kidney disease at 14.
Is there anything I can do now to stop it?
I read that low phosphorus is one suggestion, but I have no idea how to achieve that. He is on high protein and low carbs in order to control the diabetes.
I'm so worried that I caused this. He gets 1/4 pepcid tablet and he's on about 5-10 drops of Milk Thistle - all of which the vet said are fine for him. Do you think these are ok or are they contributing to his kidneys declining? His kidney function was fine last year. I've felt on the verge of tears all night. I don't want his kidneys to start failing.
Can I stop this from happening or slow it down?
