Kidney disease on dog: What is renal disease?
by Tony Agam WebmasterKidney disease or
renal disease is a most common disease that can affect dogs especially during
their older ages.
What is renal
disease?
Usually the toxins
that are produced by the body of animals get transferred to the kidney section
where it gets dissolved in water and then filtered and excreted as
urination.But when dog gets affected with this disease, the kidneys no longer
work as it were and unable to filter the toxin and produce the urine.
Signs and symptoms:
Following are the
usual signs and symptoms through which we can identify the renal disease.
Vomiting
Increased water
consumption
Blood in urine
Loss of weight
Diarrhoea
Increased
urination(polyuria) or lack of urination(anuria)
Lethargy
The renal disease
can lead to two types of kidney failures. They are as follows:
1.Acute renal
failure
In this failure,
the symptoms of the disease occur to the dog very suddenly with severe signs.
These signs may
include vomiting,fewer,depression,lack of appetite and changes in the amount of
urination.
2.Chronic renal
failure
In chronic renal
failure, the symptoms occur very gradually which many owners are missing to
notice.
The chronic failure
takes few weeks to years to become stable and which is what makes it very
difficult to cure.
The symptoms of
this failure include weight loss,poor hair coat,selective appetite and
lethargy.
Prevention steps:
Making a diet full
of nutrition will make every organ in body become healthy including the kidneys
to stay energetic.
Keeping a limit for
drug and vaccination procedures which your dog is subjected will reduce the
amount of toxins processed by the kidney.
Taking your dog to
the wellness center atleast once or twice will ensure that your pet stays on
top of health and get rid of any diseases as they arise
Monitor thirst,
appetite,behavior and energy levels of your dog constantly to ensure that
everything is normal and not low or high.
