My moms shitzu was whining all nite and woke up with rapid breathing on Sunday and she decided to take him to a local 24 hour emrgency hospital.
They diagnosed him with kidney failure and the bitch of a vet (terribe bedside manner and no tact) said that theyd like to test with a sonogram and take a biopsy of his kidney to determine where its coming from. I think its a procedure that is a waste of time and money. The other options we have is either send him home with meds and eventually die or put him down. Needless to say my mom is devastated and we are wuite distraught and at a loss at the vets lack of compassion and patience to explain to us what is going on...But she sure as pushing for that 800 sonogram/biopsy...My mom wants to put him down tommorow but i want your opinions on what i should do...BTW, hes not eating and hasnt since like friday i think
