[boxer lovers] Boxer Losing Weight

 

Does anyone have suggestions as to why my boxer is losing weight? I haven't changed his diet. In June, I took my 10-year old boxer to the vet. He had a kidney infection, which we treated with antibiotics (is over that) and blood tests (which were fine).

At that time the vet informed me he was in early stages of kidney failure but couldn't tell me how long he would live. Even before the visit to the vet, he had started having urinary accidents, unintentional, he just can't hold it. In fact, he tries licking up the urin while looking at me with his big sad brown eyes, as if saying I'm sorry mom.

He is now becoming horribly thin, while my other 10-year old is healthy even though she had a stroke six years ago. I worked with her training to walk again. Her gimp leg is getting worse and hip displaysia has set in. Kids are grown and pets are old, have a 20-year old cat too.

Anyway, the dogs used to sleep with me, now, they have to sleep on their beds beside mine. For my buddy Bozworth who seems to be happy, what type of food would you recommend me to feed him? Has anybody else experienced this? If so what would you recomend?

Thanks,
Chillinnco
