Sorry to appear ignorant, what is CHR?

Sorry I ment CRF ( chronic Renail Failure) I should have checked before I posted

still in work mode !!!

Glenn did manage to eat nearly 2 cheese burgers through out the night.( my vet knows I have done this )

I am trying him with food every 2 hours

 

[TTT]

What is the outlook for the dogs future? Is it likely to recover?

Has your vet suggested anything that might help? Dogs with CRF are sometimes given medication to stimulate their appetite, and some dogs with this condition also suffer with nausea which can be helped with medication.

I really feel for you, it's not an easy thing to manage. I hope that with treatment and diet you are able to keep him comfortable for a good while yet :luck: :luck:
