Canine renal failure

Chronic kidney failure is commonly found Cocker Spaniels, Doberman Pinschers, standard Poodles, Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apso and Shar-Pei.
Acute Renal Failure (ACF) is a potentially fatal condition that results from a sudden inability of kidneys to regulate the urine production and elimination of toxic wastes from the bloodstream. It can lead to high blood pressure, heart failure and death. If a cat or dog stops urinating, this is an extreme emergency that usually results in imminent death. In some cases, ARF can progress to CRF.

Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) is a slowly progressing disease that usually affects older cats over 10 years of age. The first signs are usually difficult to notice since excessive thirst and urination is not as common in cats as in dogs. As the disease progresses, you will notice excess drinking and urinating, weakness, vomiting, loss of appetite, poor coat condition, ammonialike odor to the breath, ulcerations in the mouth, pale gums due to anemia, sudden blindness caused by eye bleeding that results from high blood pressure, seizures and stiff gait.
