My dog had renal failure. Few days bavk he not even take a drop of water but with consultant just ice, he licks. And whenever even he smell something he started throwing yellow bile and sometimes orange. But today he drinks water and wanted to eat something by giving a sign that he smells his bowl, but ignore and moved away. And also its being 12 hrs he not even vomit. I want to know if he is recovering. I am eagerly waiting for the reply. Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Male | unneutered | 44.09 lbs

I'm sorry to hear that Leo's been sick. It sounds like you're seeing some optimistic signs of recovery - if he was previously vomiting profusely and refusing food & water, and now has stopped vomiting and is drinking, that's certainly a turn in the right direction. The only way to tell for sure if he is truly recovering would be to run bloodwork and check his renal blood values, and keep monitoring his bloodwork until it has returned to normal. Additionally, he should ideally be getting fluid therapy from a veterinarian until he has made a complete recovery. This would best be done through hospitalization and an IV catheter, but even subcutaneous fluids (given under the skin) as an outpatient can make a big difference. Fluid support is the best way to support the kidneys after they have suffered any insult. If that's not possible, encourage him to drink as much fluid as possible. You can add a little canned food or chicken broth to water to flavor it a bit, if that will entice him to drink more. I hope this helps, and I hope Leo feels better!
