Maggie Was Diagnosed with Kidneyt Disease
I was very troubled to learn that my Maltese, Maggie, had kidney disease. But I wanted to know more about it - the severity, treatment, etc. I located a superb nephrology (kidney specialist) veterinarian who was three hours away - but definitely worth the trip. The doctor was excellent. The prognosis not as bad as I anticipated (low-grade chronic kidney disease). She had a very thorough examination, including ultrasound. Right now we are only changing her diet, but I will keep an keen eye on her protein levels. The bill was $1479, of which $1183 was covered by my Embrace policy.
