honestly I think she's doing marginally better. Nothing spectacular but I haven't seen her throw up in awhile. She's learning how to drink slower. I stand next to her while she drinks and say "ok that's enough" after a couple slurps and she goes and lays down. I don't know why. I guess cuz I talk to her so much. I only stopped her by taking the bucket away once. She catches on quick! The vet likes that. - that she's not drinking as quickly.
I just gave her fluids and some nutrical. I gave her more nutrical than usual about half an hour ago and she's still holding it down. Yay! (sush your package arrived today and thank you so much! I had just run out of the one from the vet
)
Had a scare! I thought she was throwing up but it was just a cat. Hairball I guess. Poor cat. lol

I really, really hope she's doing better. She's held that nutrical down for an hour and a half now so I think it's in her system. I just gave her another tablespoon and she ate that. Then I wipes about a teaspoon on her paws and she very thoroughly cleaned it off. And I gave her about a 1/4 cup of water and she drank about half of it and is now curled up in front of my bedroom door.
Last night I gave her a whole array of food to choose from (teaspoon of this, teaspoon of that). She didn't touch it when I went to bed but this mornign I thought she had. Upon closer inspection I realized that she had just slept with her head on the plate as her hair was all sticky

i would seriously consider getting a second opinion. WHY hasnt your dog that has been continually vomiting been placed on antacids and anti-emetics (to stop the vomiting?).
ANd she is peeing so he said stop the sq fluids? the peeing is because her kidneys are shot and she cannot concentrate her urine - if she is in acute v. chronic renal failure, there is a chance she may regain that function, but she NEEDS the fluids to flush the toxins out of her system. yes, it sucks she pees a lot, but decreasing the fluids isn't the answer.
youre vet is REALLY behind on the times - ive dealt with numerous animals in renal failure and have had 1 myself of my own - not giving her something to make her FEEL better is ridiculous - she is nauseous because the toxins built up in her system make her feel like crap, since her kidneys cannot clear them out.
what has her bloodwork shown?

hm. She hasn't had bloodwork since i took her home last wk and i can't remember specifics. he showed it to me but i didnt ask for a copy. i will and let you know.
as for a 2nd opinion he's one of 2 clinics in the area and is the only one that will do a payment plan. plus i like him more.
what drugs should she be on? i can ask him. he's willing to try anything. i think she is feeling better though. She hasn't thrown up today as far as i know
his thoughts behind reducing the fluids was because she is holding down water now. she has been getting 1500 mL a day instead of 2000 mL. So you think i should give her more?
