I completely understand why you're worried, and it's great that you're seeking more information during such a tough time. Kidney failure in dogs can indeed be challenging, but there are treatment options that can help manage the condition and improve their quality of life.
When a dog is on IV fluids for kidney failure, the aim is to flush out toxins and provide necessary hydration, which can alleviate some symptoms and may give your dog a more comfortable and extended life. The response to treatment can vary depending on the underlying cause and the stage of kidney failure. Some dogs improve significantly and can live with careful management.
At home, ensure your dog has access to fresh water at all times and consider altering their diet to kidney-friendly options if suggested by your vet. Monitoring their energy levels, appetite, and weight is important to notice any changes.
Watch for signs like vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or a decrease in appetite, as these can indicate that your dog's condition might be worsening, at which point prompt veterinary attention is needed.
To discuss more tailored strategies and monitor your dog's progress closely, I recommend booking a video consult with us at Dial A Vet. We're here to support you through this journey.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
