So sweet! Just a word of warning my not-quite-14-year-old Bichon had been acting "off" recently. On Sunday/Monday she was really off ... not eating, peeing in the living room, crying/whining/whimpering ... I thought maybe she had a UTI.
My granddaughter who's a vet assistant kinda blew me off, but when I insisted something was off she got a urine sample and took Zoey to work.
No UTI, but her kidney numbers were off the charts and they discovered a heart murmur. So she's getting IV fluids, meds and a change of diet.
Thankfully she's not in kidney failure. Anyhow ... if Scout continues to refuse food and keeps vomiting (both symptoms of kidney disease) I suggest her take her back to the vet and tell them a stranger on the internet told you she might have kidney disease.
I wish now I'd taken her in sooner ...
