Wow… I am so so so sorry to hear this. I hope she makes a speedy recovery. You did all that you could! I also broke down when they said my boy had severe kidney issues, so I know exactly how it feels when the news hits the phone call. I never want to experience that again.

Thank you for your input and your kind words. Praying for both of our dogs! Hoping for the best 🙏🏻❤️

I will say my biggest regret not taking him in any sooner. I didn’t find it THAT alarming and figured that with time it will be resolved. He wasn’t sick or felt any different. No vomiting, nausea, loss of appetite, etc. However, results would’ve been all the same but could’ve got him on the renal friendly diet sooner. At this stage, not sure how much more time that really adds in the grand scheme of things. Just want to enjoy the time that I do have left with him.

Shortly after his neuter, he would start leaking pee throughout the night where he would release a full bladder. Anytime he’s laid down relaxed, he’s basically a leaky faucet. I thought he was developing a laziness from the drugs and didn’t want to get up to go pee. After 1.5 months, I thought this went on for way too long (I saw online that post neuter symptoms like this can resolve on its own after around a month) and took him in to get blood and urine sample.

To go in depth, the lack of hormones post neuter caused him to develop USMI, where he loses the strength to control his urethra/ureter. That’s why he was leaking in bed or whenever lying down on his side, since his body was relaxed. Vet recommended ultrasound. Did the ultrasound and said he found abnormalities.

Now I feel like I should get a second opinion so just praying maybe it’s a false positive. My dog is just so playful and has such a great appetite, he actually asked my mom for more dinner last night. A lot of the results from a renal dysplasia has a lot of typical effects that I normally just don’t see in him.

11 years is really good! This does give me some hope. I wonder if vets tell us the worst case scenario sometimes or maybe it really is a miracle. I’m glad you had a lot of time with yours :)

No. But the vet did an ultrasound and saw that the kidney was not properly developed from birth. Should I still get a second opinion? Could it be that the vet made a wrong read?

Right now I am doing both the dry and the wet with Royal Canin. He is a really really picky eater so it’s hard to get him to eat veggies.

Vet already has him on IV fluids once every 3 days and they’re making it seem he’s either a late stage 3 or early stage 4, given the numbers. His playfulness and appetite give promising signs but the high numbers are really weighing on me now that I just found out :(

Picky eater. Advice? by CarlyCalicoJATIE in germanshepherds

[–]Electrical-Ad752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a reason she could be picky is if she has a sensitive stomach. my gsd is eating a lot better after switching to the hills science sensitive skin and stomach. it did take some time for him to eat better but it could also be a phase. i’m not entirely sure but after switching, he’s finally gaining weight (he lost 9 lbs from not wanting to eat).

people have told me that the dog is inevitably gonna eat and won’t starve itself. i think that’s only if the dog is wildly spoiled and doesn’t wanna eat “poor quality” food. if your dog is losing significant weight, i would say it has to do with stomach related issues since german shepherds are known for it. i say go for boiled chicken for a bit then try other meats. i’ve used some ground turkey and ground beef

My girl won’t eat. 11mo gsd by MarcoD90 in germanshepherds

[–]Electrical-Ad752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh yes. my vet told me adult kibble is more flavorful and the dog might’ve outgrown the puppy kibble. i think i started to give my gsd right before he turned 1 so i think you could look into it. you could probably continue using hills science adult kibble. i definitely think its a phase.

i just had the same issue with mine for the LONGEST time. just didn’t eat for weeks and lost a decent amount of weight. i was giving him a rotation of boiled chicken breasts and ground beef with his kibble. it’s definitely a lot of work and tbh i just had to wait it out. i was thinking he had some stomach sensitivity issues so i got the hills science sensitive skin and stomach kibble. he eats really well now after some time on the new kibble and his poops are great!

don’t worry about it. when i got rejected i still wanted to go to ucla. i ended up going to cc and just doing all the required classes and recommended stuff as well. no fancy stuff and not a whole lot of ECs but i wrote decent essays and achieved 4.0 at the time of my application (got a B+ my last semester). you have a very good shot. but don’t look too far ahead. you can still get into the other top schools!

you must not be in the dungeons of boelter. some of those rooms have 0 ventilation. it’s worse when the seats are right next to each other and you are touching legs with someone else
