This little dog is geriatric and presented with a thin body condition score (2/9), hearing and vision loss, dermatitis, and significant difficulty rising and ambulating. Veterinary evaluation diagnosed chronic kidney disease and an active kidney infection, accompanied by lethargy, weight loss, anemia, and ongoing vomiting. The dog also has difficulty standing and walking, likely related to spinal disease (spondylosis) and a right-sided luxating patella. Additional medical concerns include KCS (dry eye), entropion, periodontal disease, and generalized dermatitis.
Due to the presence of multiple severe, progressive conditions, the dog is experiencing ongoing suffering with a poor quality of life and a poor prognosis for recovery. Humane euthanasia is recommended.
