How long can a dog live with stage 4 kidney disease. Unfortunately on the other hand if your dog is diagnosed with stage 3 to 4 kidney failure you are looking at weeks and months. As the kidneys fail they begin functioning at minimum levels.
Early stage kidney failure is often characterized by increased drinking and urination.
If a dog has early stage kidney disease a vet may flush out her kidneys to remove the toxins. The first two stages are characterized by a slow buildup of toxins in the blood. It goes from stage i where pets show evidence of disease but no change in kidney function to stage iv where the condition is making the dog unwell. Once a dog is diagnosed with kidney disease vets may asses their blood to stage the condition to help determine treatment.
