can a 10 year old dog recover from kidner failure? she has congestive heart failure also,the vet said her blood values didnt do right after the 72 hours,she is sick,and has been from the 12th of this month,she was in the hospital for 3 days,i brought her home to die, 4 vets said she will die,and i have accepted that,but out of 5 vets,only 2 said to give her a chance,that she could live a few days if she wants,well im not going to keep her here for me,i am ready when she is,yesterday i took her to her best creek and she looked around for minnows for about a hour and got tried,she has been drinking a little water but not eating,she drank a lot of water at the creek,today i just knew it was time,and the vet said bring her in,so i had everything ready and i had the minnow bucket and told her we were going to get fish,she took off slowly and i thought she was going to go potty,she hid under the porch and stayed till my daughter came with a bucket of minnows,then she played with them and rolled around on the ground,then she came in and ate a half of slim jim and ate some steak,what im saying is,not that she will live,i know that,even the liver is damaged,but i am glad i listened to snooker and not the vets,i will let her tell me when she wants to call it quits,for not listening to them ,she got to eat and fish and roll and lay on the couch,and i could not stand it cause she couldent eat,i am more at piece now,carlene and snooker
