Subject: Update on Tommy
Sorry, I thought that I had given an update, but it seems I haven't.
The vet was pleased with Tommy's progress and I was allowed to bring her home last Monday, with instructions for her to eat a renel kibble, she won't entertain it but would rather starve. Some if you will know Tracy (from Denmark) she send me an email with 2 recipies in for homecooked renal dog food, and Tommy loves it.
Took her back to the vet on Thursday and he was very pleased with her. She had put on weight and had a shine back on her coat and was much stronger. Then he asked about her eating, and wasn't very pleased when I told him that I was cooking her food, but I emailed the recipies and not heard since.
Since then, we went away for the weekend and she has slowly gained strength. She is only allowed a short walk on the lead, but this morning she set off with her tail and head high, and walked a fair distance, then when I turned to take her home, down went her head and tail and I had to drag her back home. Tomorrow I will take all 3, but the other 2 will get a shorter walk until Tommy is up to the normal long ones. I am sure it won't be long judging by the rate she is improving.
She will always have to be on a special diet and medication, but hopefully she will not deteriate for a long time.
Kidney failure is one of those that has to be caught early and if you do, there is a lot you can do to help your dog.

Margaret, glad to hear that Tommy is starting to perk up and get her shine back.
I had China to the vet the other day for her annual and he was very pleased with her, although as per usual she didn't want her feet touched (can't blame her - two accidents when she was younger, one involving a pitchfork and the other a steel-cap boot).

Margaret I am really glad Tommy is starting to feel better as well. Obviously your "home cooked" meals are doing her the world of good. Why didn't the vet like you cooking her meals?
Also, how is Bill going, is he home yet? Hope all is well.
