I'm so sorry--my mini dachshund died of renal failure 5 years ago at the age of 7. Actually, they can do dialysis, but I did not think this was a good option--it seemed selfish to prolong a life that had no joy in it for her anymore. In the last hours before the vet could take her, she couldn't even drink. I was wetting her mouth with water on my fingers. There was no option but to have her put to sleep.
I wish you much luck and hope that your sweet doggie will be OK.

The dog food is more than likely the problem with artificial preservatives being one of the problems. www.greatlife4pets.com this is an excellent dog food for Dobermans or Rottweilers or any other dog .they have a good cat food too. You can call them for questions .If there are any diet modifications great life can help. The people at Rubicon are great group of people that offer excellent advice.
