Hi Everyone,
Our new puppy came home this week from the Breeder. We were all very happy and she quickly captured our hearts. We brought her to the vet this week and found out that at least one of her Kidney's are enlarged. We then brought her to the Breeders vet who did an ultasound and discovered that she has Polycystic Kidney Disease. On at least one of her kidney's, she has several cysts.
We are not sure what will happen next as we await the blood test results and some research on the part of the Vet.
If anyone has had experience with a CKCS or other breed with a Renal function disorder, I would appreciate hearing from them, especially in terms of what is realistic and humane options/treatments.
She seems quite normal, very playful, sleeps alot and has what I would consider a normal urinary and bowel movement cycle. Her appetite is just so so but that could be a transitionary issue as she is only 10 weeks.
Wish I had better news.
