Hi everyone, some of you may know but yesterday i found out Haven has kidney failure :(
I am Heartbroken and feel so sad and guilty for her. The vet is pleased with how she is at the moment, and said she is ok etc at the moment. The vet noted that one of her kidneys was tiny :( She is eating and drinking great at the moment... so the vet is happy, she is also running about excited for food and her hay etc.

The vet says he doesn't know how long she will have before she goes downhill, could be a week...could be months...but he was really kind and gave me advice on what to look out for and a few things i can do etc. He also couldn't believe how well she sat while he examined her etc.
I don't really know what i am asking other than dose anyone have any advice on kidney failure?... i guess i also just wanted to vent to my piggie people as some people wont be able to understand why i am so upset...although i do have a few good friends who have been very kind and understanding etc.

Anyway i am back off to work now...thanks guys.

Huge hugs to you Jenny, I am really sorry. Was so sad to read your news yesterday. Love to beautiful Haven x x
 
so sorry to hear this. i hope haven can remain happy and comfortable for as long as possible x
 
Thanks everyone. She is doing well at the moment, am just taking it one day at a time with her and making sure i make the most of the time i have with her x Have had quite a few bad days...i think today is the only day (so far) i have not had a little cry. I want to be strong and happy and don't want Haven to see me cry and sad with her. Shes still eating and drinking well and doing all the things she pretty much usually dose... just paying a little closer attention to how much she eats/drinks/wee's and poos. :) Thanks so much to everyone who has supported and given me advice...it really means alot to know i am not alone and have people who understand what i am going through and how hurtful the news was to hear etc x x
 
So glad she is doing well, I know its hard but you are doing great for her. Never miss the chance to give her a cuddle or just watch her, thats what we did with Treacle and it helped when she left us that we knew we had spent her last few weeks together and made her happy.

Love to Haven, give her a little cuddle from me and Rach x
