Avatar f tn Thank you so much! I have joined that group and Tony has started informing me about CKF! So much help!!
Avatar f tn Heart failure will cause him to have shortage of breath, kidney failure will cause him to vomit and have diarrhea, and pancreatitis will causes him to be in pain. I really don't know which is the right choice. Should I let him continue living this way till his time is up or should I put him to sleep? Can anyone please advise me?
20820562 tn?1524877846 She was constipated and vomiting. The vet took blood work that showed she had pancreatitis and kidney disease. Her BUN was 76 and creatinine 5.6. Her pancreatic function numbers were (Am) 2148 and (LP) 2792. She was on IV fluids overnight and her numbers barely changed for her kidneys but her pancreas function numbers were (Am) 441 and (LP)550.
Avatar f tn My dog is 17 1/2 (old I know), and last year he had a bad pancreatitis attack that led to kidney failure. After being put on IV fluids for 3 days, he got much better and the kidney failure actually went away. However the same thing happened yet again a week ago.
1382010 tn?1279643604 Some other causes of ascites related to increased pressure gradient are congestive heart failure and advanced kidney failure due to generalized retention of fluid in the body. In rare cases, increased pressure in the portal system can be caused by internal or external obstruction of the portal vessel, resulting in portal hypertension without cirrhosis.

Avatar f tn Hello--thank you for providing some of the most comprehensive information on managing chronic kidney failure in dogs that I’ve been able to find. I am struggling with several issues associated with management of kidney disease in my 18 year old terrier mix rescue dog, who was diagnosed with stage 2 kidney disease 5 weeks ago, on the heels of an episode of acute pancreatitis.
Avatar f tn On Aug. 31st my dog was diagnosed with Kidney Failure. Her creatinine was at a 8. As of almost 2 weeks ago it went down to a 2. I have been giving her 6 cc's of fluid subcutaneously. As also Aluminum Hydroxide Gel, USP 5 mL after she eats. Along with PancrePlus as she basically has chronic pancreatitis since 2011 and I can only feed her either boiled chicken & rice or science diet I/D or she starts to tremble in pain.
Avatar f tn s likely the kidney disease occurred first and the pancreatitis is the result of the kidney failure. However, the pancreatitis may be a chronic condition that has been happening for a long time, in which case it could have affected the kidneys. Has your vet given any indication of which may be the case? The reason for asking is it could be important, because acute pancreatitis can be treated (although any organ damage cannot be undone).
Avatar f tn Hi Anna. Pancreatitis is a common complication with kidney disease and needs to be guarded against, usually by being forewarned if it creeping in through having very regular (monthly) blood level checks. It can both be triggered and made significantly worse by high fat content in the diet, which you probably know by now.
Avatar n tn Kidney failure/ pneumonia/ blockage of lung blood vessels (pulmonary embolism)/ pancreatitis. Test will be given in order to determine the underlying cause. Then a treatment protocol will be administered to treat the symptoms and to remove or reduce the fluid. There are a few other possibilities but the ones mentioned above are the most common. Try not to assume the worst. Doctor's have the ability and resources to do amazing things this day and time.

Avatar f tn I had extreme pancreatitis in April 2018 along with septic shock and total kidney failure and should by all accounts be dead. I was read last rights and my parents were basically told I would not make it through the night. I miracously made a full recovery after pt due to not being able to walk after a month long stay 12 days of which in a medically induced coma. The severity of the situation I think now is finally hitting me and feel I am sinking into a depression.
19691093 tn?1488194069 Dental disease is the most common cause of canine kidney failure. The infection and bacteria from bad gums and teeth over a prolonged time period goes down the gut and eventually to the kidneys. As the immune system becomes affected, the kidneys cannot cope with all this bacteria and start to shut down - and that starts a process that leads to chronic kidney disease.
Avatar f tn I am guilt ridden with not taking her in sooner. I did not know anything about pancreatitis or kidney failure until this happened.I don;t know if this was acute renal injury or acute on developing chronic and a bout of possible pancreatitis triggered her downhill battle? I had been feeding her high quality food from Chuck and Don's called FROMM, and it's made in Wisconsin. I doubt that food had any problems associated.

Avatar f tn I dont drink and my liver, thyroid,electrolytes,blood sugar, kidney and blood cell counts were all normal. Anyone have any idea what this could be?
Avatar f tn My dog was diagnosed with kidney failure last May, the vet said that about 70% of his kidneys have failed and he has been on sub q everyday since then and given EPO injection once a month. Recently, he was diagnosed with pancreatitis and was hospitalised and on IV drip & medicated for the past week. His red blood count has been low and has only very slowly rising after giving him the epo injection once every 3 days.
Avatar f tn My vet explained to me that stomach ulcers are common in dogs with kidney failure. Ulcers can make them feel poorly and because of that they will not want to eat. Did your vet prescribe Pepcid or something like that? I was also told that when their BUN level exceeds 100, they really don't feel all that great.
Avatar f tn Hi Tony,not sure you would remember my dog, but I joined this forum last April when my Toto was diagnosed with kidney failure stage 03. You had given me so much support and advice which I still greatly appreciate it. We have managed it very for over one year and 4 mts. She made it her 15th birthday this August and had a regular check every 4 weeks. On September 1st, she seemed very low and started vomiting so we took her to an emergency.
Avatar m tn Three days later he was back to vomiting and not eating and we were back at the vet- this time she told us it could be pancreatitis or an obstruction. We treated for pancreatitis (fluids/steroids/antibiotic). Again, better for three days, then back to vomiting and not eating. Went back a few days later for more of the same. Doctor says x-rays might show an obstruction- might not- and that would mean surgery- which we can't afford.
