Here is his bloodwork

No mind about me! I am worried about you and him- Others are more knowlegeable about these things than I. If this can be turned around we will pray for that.

Sheli, I just read about Murphi on FB i'm so sorry to hear this diagnosis. i cant read the values too well but looks like his BUN is 126, and creat and phos are high try fluids, azodyl, diet, etc............praying for your peiby, hugs to you xo

_________________

usually after bun reaches 100 they become uremic, God I wish I could help him, my Lulu hung on for 2 years with renal amyloidosis "kidney failure" lulu had liver failure too. praying for Murphi

_________________

High Alk/Phos indicates possible liver issues as well.....many Vets will miss this. Will have to give support for liver too probably at least milk thistle & SamE

Sheli,

I'm so sorry. I know EXACTLY how you are feeling right now. It hurts so much....like a punch to the stomach/having the air knocked out of you. I'm about 10 days ahead of you in terms of finding out and trying to come up with a protocol that is best and I tell you, I still feel lost. There's so much to consider. Just keep asking questions and make the best decisions for Murphi based upon the information you're given.

You are in my thoughts....

Chandra

I agree with Mandy, you seem to have caught this quickly, and there are protocols, drugs and diets that can keep them ticking for quite a while. I recently wrote up a little blurb on diet for Cagney.

Please keep us in the loop, you know we will help however we can!

I will be thinking of you, sending prayers and well wishes for Murphi.

Murphi will have the best care and love from his Mom. I know the members of the forum will give you all the knowledge and support they can.

PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH MINDY, THE ONE WHO ADOPTED 2 PUPPIES FROM JAN, HER 1 DOG HAS HAD AMYLOIDOSIS NOW FOR 3 YEARS, "SYMONE" MINDY HAS BEEN ABLE TO SUSTAIN HER FOR THIS LONG! THIS IS AN EXCEPTION TO THE RULE CASE, BUT WORTH FIGHTING FOR MURPHI'S LIFE

Sheli, I've been down this road more times then i thought i would be, 2 of my pei died from amyloidosis and now my sabrina has kidney/liver issues too. it's such a curse sub-q fluids are essential, hopefully they can get his BUN lower. there is also EPAKITIN which is used to bind phos in the body, it's manufactured by the makers of AZODYL. Lita's remedies are available too. there was a great article on ASSOCIATED CONTENT about a pei named MAX who had amyloidosis and lived for several years. his owner wrote down everything she did to extend his life in that article. we dont have alot of options for treating KF in dogs, even if you did dialysis on him it would only be a temporary solution and a very expensive and unpleasant one. choose the treatment plan you feel comfortable with. there is even a controversial method some vets use called DMSO. we will pray for Murphi and hope that you can help him to live as long as possible with his KF. remember fresh healthy food is really important, the chemicals in commercial food are not going to benefit him. spring water/filtered water is good also.

Thanks Sherry for the info

Murphi had a good night, NO vomiting he does have a little loose stool though but we are heading back to the vet this morning, i'm taking in his first morning urine and Dr. wants to take a look at him. We had x-rays taken yesterday to rule out any blockage and that was before the blood-work came back, so she will talk about that too.

We are off to the vet

Blessings,prayers, positive thoughts out to Murphi and you.....

Van & Dixie Belle
