louise and Gus
Wise Old Thumper
I have been a bit worried about Dinky for a while and it was confirmed last week that it's his kidneys, probably caused by the EC (he recovered from head tilt recently
Basically the vet said there wasn't too much that can be done, we are trying anabolic steroids and adjusting his diet to try and keep as much weight as possible on him. Does anyone have any other advice? I have read about Fortekor being used, does anyone have info about it's use?
I am so gutted, he is 5 so not even that old
Also does any have any idea of timescales I can expect? He has lost a lot of weight and drinks a lot, my vet reckons he has lost at least 70% kidney function
