Tumor removal

[Catherine]

I am glad Regina has come through her surgery safely. She already looks like she is on the mend. It makes sense to remove the tumors if she was going to be under for her teeth.  I bet she looks cute in her hoodie.

The kidney issues seem to be more common these days. I think the protein content of some dog foods is too high. It is the same for  people who eat a high meat diet. As the body gets older it is harder for the kidneys to handle all that protein. Adjusting Regina's diet might be enough. The special kidney diets are good. 

Misty did well with the special food. My neighbour's cat did well with the special renal diet as well. However her kidneys had actually failed and we kept her healthy with fluid injections a few times a week. I think we kept Zooey cat going 8 years after her kidneys failed.

With good feeding you can probably prevent further damage to Regina's kidneys. She could do very well. It is a good thing you tested her kidney function.

I hope her recovery continues to go well.
