I am so sorry for your loss! Without having seen Jack, there is no way I can tell you with 100% certainty what was wrong with him. From JUST looking at these x-rays, it looks like his bladder was blocked (unable to urinate) and there for his bladder got REALLY full and the urine eventually backed up into the kidneys. This likely caused him kidney values to increase and electrolytes to be abnormal. Unfortunately though, I cannot say this for sure and I have no idea if this is what caused him to pass away. I am sorry for your loss and please know you are in my thoughts.
