Subject: Kidney Failure / Giardia
I've never heard of hind leg weakness being a
symptom of kidney failure. Champ's was diagnosed
through bloodwork. He had a urinary tract
infection first and, when he didn't get better, he
was hospitalized. During that time, the kidney
failure was diagnosed so I'm not real sure of the
outward symptoms. I believe excess urination may
be one???
I've also never heard that Giardia is there
forever. I believe medications will cure it.
And, my experience with Giardia is that it stinks
to high heaven. It is diagnosed through a fecal
sample.
