........I'd suggest joining K9Kidney at Yahoo. Lots of people going through
the same thing.

........Kidney failure doesn't show up on tests until the kidneys are 75%
gone, so this is not something unusual. You might want to read through some
of the material at this extensive site on kidney disease in dogs:

Also, remember that each dog is very individual! It may not be possible
to accurately forecast the life span of your dog. There are several
types of renal failure, and each is different, too.... When treatment
works well, the dog can live for some time! When it doesn't, or when
not followed, the results are not as happy...
