Libby, I wish Regina all the very best for her recovery!
Misty had 2 fatty tumours but they never interfered with anything and weren't big so she kept them all the time I knew her. But I agree they need to come off if they do.
Misty also had the beginnings of kidney failure diagnosed late summer 2011. The vet and I tried her with Royal Canin renal diet (dry and canned), but she was allowed the odd scrambled egg, white fish, and chicken breast with veggies. I was quite strict with her diet food at first, and only when I saw results, allowed her to have some of the "treats" above.
Veggies were also okay to have with her canned food. So carrots and green beans etc were a treat for her too!
She was also prescribed ACE inhibitors. "Benazecare." That is not always prescribed, but our vet thought it might be a good idea.
She acted well, and fit through all this time. No signs of illness or weakness.
Now only a few weeks later her creatinine and blood urea nitrogen had come down to upper "normal" and weeks after that they were in the mid-normal zone. (Her blood phosphorus was never raised, so that didn't seem to be an issue all through.)
The diet can be a bit bland, but Misty loved it.
Is this any help to you and Regina?
