Poor Miki! This may be reversible if it is acute renal disease, potentially secondary to the NSAIDs or hypotension during anesthesia. Miki should remain hospitalized on aggressive IV fluids, as this is the most important aspect of care with renal failure. The next few days are going to tell a lot as far as how he's responding to treatment. I hope he feels better soon!
