Symptoms of kidney failure in dogs:

1. There are two stages of azotemia and uremia.

2. When azotemia occurs, no obvious clinical symptoms may be seen, and blood tests may change.

3. When uremia occurs, it is a multi-system toxic syndrome, with clinical symptoms related to azotemia, polyuria and polydipsia, anorexia and weight loss, lethargy, pale mucous membranes and ulcer. Vomiting and sometimes convulsions occur in the dog.

4. In blood tests during azotemia, urea concentration increases, and creatinine or other non-protein nitrogen compounds can be seen.

5. Blood tests in uremia show higher creatinine and urea nitrogen levels.

Treatment measures for dog kidney failure:

1. It is extremely difficult to cure kidney failure with current treatment methods, but appropriate drug treatment can improve the quality of life of sick dogs. for months or even years.

2. Diet therapy can meet the nutritional and energy needs of sick dogs, improve the clinical symptoms of uremia, reduce electrolyte, vitamin and mineral disorders, thereby slowing down the process of renal failure.

3. When a sick dog vomits, maintain normal hydration and avoid stress reactions by not restricting drinking water or rehydration. Give sodium bicarbonate to correct metabolic acidosis, give anabolic agents and intestinal phosphorus binders, supply calcium and calcitriol, oral analgesics and H2 antagonists, give erythropoietin, anticonvulsants, without poisoning the kidneys Drugs that act and develop antihypertensive treatments.

4. When dogs develop uremic renal failure, it is recommended to drink water freely, take in normal protein, and limit phosphorus binders. Hypertension restricts sodium and supplies potassium to prevent excessive potassium loss. In addition, consider using erythropoietin and vitamin D supplementation when anemia occurs.
