Kidney disease in dogs can be acute or chronic, and treatment depends on the type and severity of the disease. Here are some treatment options:
– Diet: Dogs with kidney disease should be switched to a prescription diet with lower amounts of protein, phosphorus, and sodium.
– Fluid Therapy: Dogs with kidney disease benefit from additional fluid intake to ensure adequate hydration and perfusion of the kidneys.
– Medications: Various medications can help dogs with kidney disease, including phosphate binders, ACE inhibitors, antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors or H2 antagonists, and appetite stimulants.
– Pain Management: Many dogs with kidney disease experience pain, which can be alleviated using certain oral pain medications or a holistic approach.
– Lifestyle Changes: Dogs with kidney disease should always have access to fresh, clean water to compensate for their increased urination.
Additional Tips and Advice
– Regular Veterinary Visits: Dogs with kidney disease should see a veterinarian at least every six months to monitor the disease’s progression and adjust treatment as needed.
– Monitor for Signs of Underlying Issues: If a dog becomes lethargic or starts drinking and urinating more frequently while kidney disease is being managed, it may indicate an underlying issue and require a medication adjustment or additional treatment.
– Managing Costs: Pet owners can expect to spend $75 or more on veterinary visits, medications, supportive care, and a prescription diet.
When to Consult a Veterinarian
If you suspect that your dog is showing signs of kidney disease, it is essential to consult a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
