My dog is diagnosed with chronic kidney failure. He is having creatinine at 15. He is 1year and 10months old. Can the condition be reversed? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | 1 year and 10 months old | 66.1 lbs

Unfortunately no, chronic kidney failure cannot be reversed. It is ultimately fatal. It can be treated but it cannot be cured. If was acute kidney failure, there is a chance it could be cured. I'm sorry.

I am afraid there is no cure for chronic kidney failure. By the time a dog or cat shows signs of kidney failure, more than 75% of the kidney function is gone. However, a dog or cat can have a good quality of life, with supportive care (kidney diet, fluids , under the skin, usually, and phosphate -binders) for quite a while. But I am afraid , there is no way to reverse the failure or damage to the kidneys.

This depends on if this acute (a toxin or infection) or chronic. If acute, then with IV fluids and treatment of the underlying problem, then long term prognosis may be a normal or nearly normal life. However, if this is more likely chronic kidney disease, prognosis is very poor. Dogs in general do badly with renal failure. Weeks to months is what I would expect- and that is with treatment (iv or subcutaneous fluids once to three times weekly, anti nausea medications, etc.) I am so incredibly sorry that you and Dollar are going through this and wish you all peace and clarity.
