Been such a long time since Ive been around here! Im turning to here because I know quite a few of you will probably be quite knowledgeable on this! Im currently in the process of taking on a female 13yr old WHWT with Chronic Kidney Failure. She is having a second opinion today at the specialists to see just how advance it is but at the moment its not looking too good. Ive been talking to the vet who is quite progressive in his thinking regarding diet and treatments etc (he actively supports me in raw feeding and is always open to new treatment ideas for my other westie) and he suggested that although her life expectancy is not looking too hot at the moment, it might be worth trying some herbal remedies as well as the specialised diet. Has anybody looked into this before and can recommend anything? I know there are companies out there that have specific remedies already made up – but they are almost £130 for 75mls and obviously they don’t list whats in them! I know that nettles can help with reducing waste products in the system and Aloe Vera should reduce her vomiting – anyone else a bit more clued up than me in this area?!
Thanks in advance…

Thanks for the list - what are the properties of each of these and how will they help? And yes, she will still be undergoing regular vet treatment and sticking to the diet etc - as you stated, its more of how I can make her more comfortable and help to alleviate symptoms, not to cure her.

Thanks everyone - as a side note, I feed RAW and have done for four years with my current dog. I dont buy pre-made raw foods though, I weigh and measure my own. Im going to check out a few of the links.
