Update 03/2005
Studie was diagnosed with Chronic Renal Failure on March 15th 2005.
I thought I was going to see my dog going to the Rainbow Bridge.
However, right now, we are taking it a day at time. He is doing quite well. Almost like he found the fountain of youth. He is more playful, Get's me up early in the morning to go for a walk and doing quite well with his special dogfood, lots of love, and SQ fluids.
He does so well with his fluids and enjoys the attention that he gets in the 20 minutes that it takes. He has still has lots of life and quality of life!
Update July 11th 2006
Studie is doing GREAT!
His last lab results were all normal for a teenage dog!!
He continues to be on the KD dog food, but no longer are we giving the SQ fluids.
Not previously mentioned on this Website, but we have a new addition to our family in November. Yes, a puppy, another schnoodle. Lexus will be a year old in August. The old pup and the new pup... may not be the best of friends, but they are learning to accept each other in their own way.
UPDATE Aug 12, 2006
Studibaker continues to do well, No SubQ fluids at this time, and he continues on his Hill's KD diet.
Added Picture show shown below with both Pups at the dog park.
Lexus, will be celebrating his first Birthday on 8/15/06.
Happy Birthday Lexus!
UPDATE Oct 20, 2006
Studie is still playing, also enjoys hobnobing with the pups at the dogpark,
He is the laid back dog in the puppy/small dog area. Usually does walking and pacing along the fence.
While Studie is taking his leasurely stroll, You can see the Lexus running around as if he is on the German Autobahn!
UPDATE March 17th 2007
Can you believe it was 2 years ago this month that Studie was
diagnosed with Chronic Renal Disease! He continues to do great! No SubQ fluids at this time, still eating
his Hill's Science KD diet.
He is a bit blind and deaf... but his nose sure does work overtime.
His favorite passion is sniffing whatever there is to sniff.
Lexus continues to take Obedience Class and his Agility Class
and LOVES the classes!
April 14th, 2008
Can You believe Studie is now 17 years old. That is like 96 in dog years.
Studie is still eating dry science diet KD dog food. IT's been 3 years since he was diagnosed with his Kidney disease. His bloodwork is still looking pretty good. I can tell he is slowing down in his physical aspects, but just try and get his favorite food from him.. You know that he still has some spunk.
Lexus is still a sweetheart. Still in Agility class and obedience.
I really have made some great friends with the Dog club I belong too.
