Concentrated urine - vet says liver failure

[Sophiesmama]

It would seem like the test would depend on the amount of water he's been drinking. I think I would seek another opinion. There's always something to worry us, isn't there. I sure hope you get to the bottom of it.

Ironically, one of my adopters contacted me in a panic as the dog had tested (twice) for un-concentrated urine and the vet was stating kidney failure. I am all for being cautious and follow up but seriously, what's with the drastic conclusions these vets made!? The adopter is waiting for the results of another test and then will do blood work then get another opinion.

Your pics of Rocky are some of my favorites. Hope he is okay and has a long healthy life left to go.

I do not know anything about your vet, but do know something about a lot of vet clinics in this area. Some of them have reputations for recommending foods that they have available in the clinic, or anything else that they are a supply source for. I don't trust those clinics.

Thanks. I haven't gotten around to it yet but plan to get a second opinion. I haven't freaked out.

Amen on everything Ed said!
When Reckless turned 7 the vet staff recommended the "Senior Panel" and I told them when he started acting like a Senior I'd consider it...

Good Luck Tanya!!! Rocky is one of fav's!!!
