Vet called. Sounds like some time in the next couple of months
I'm going to have to help my dog to cross the bridge. That's going to suck. We'll do our best to keep her going with the prescription diet, but if she won't eat it then she won't eat it. ** Edited by Hokie CPA at 5/31/2023, 2:59:09 PM

We have never had a dog or cat actually like
the prescription diet. At first a few would eat it but the novelty wore off quickly. Good luck, and I hope she eats it and gets some more time, its a tough spot to be in.

That food isn't very appetizing to dogs, try crushing some soft treats on
top, canned peas (no salt added) and steamed carrots are good for them..maybe she'd like them alone or mixed in..maybe even some bone broth on top of kidney friendly food... our dog likes to fake pretend burring before eating....hilarious to watch ** Edited by kjhokie at 5/31/2023, 3:57:45 PM

Our experience has been when an older dog begins to refuse food, it's
telling. Our 'Marge', who we lost in 2013, went from the heartiest of appetites to refusal in a matter of two days. Neither wet dog food nor baby food would work. Kibble slathered with beef gravy - she just stared at. Wish you the kindest outcome. ** Edited by PhotoHokieNC at 5/31/2023, 4:28:23 PM

Very sad, CPA. Enjoy every remaining moment with her.
It's a shame dogs don't get stoned.

This dog has stolen a few edibles in her time. She's been stoned AF.
It's been funny when it happened too.
