many owners are in denial when it comes to how poorly their pet is doing, they selfishly fear the loss of the pet. Others do not seem to tune in and actually know what is normal for their pet. I do not know which this is, but if you cannot afford the vet bills, see if they have any grants to assist. Do not let the pet suffer. The quality of life should come before the emotional attachment of the owner. Is this pet up and about? Does it eat and eliminate wastes, both types? Does it have access to all that it needs, clean fresh water, food, fresh air, etc. Is the dog labored in breathing, at rest, with no exercise? Is it painful to "palpate" the dog about the abdomen, over the kidneys, to move his limbs in flexations? These are some of the things the vet will check for in addition to blood and urine tests, etc.
