It took me a long time to finish this experience, because I couldn't help crying every time I recalled the details. After all, October was really a lot of suffering before we pulled it back from the jaws of death. I hope it can give you some reference.
Cause
Probably at the beginning of February 2018, I took October for a walk according to my daily routine. In winter, the dawn was late, so it was still dark before seven o'clock and the road could not be seen clearly. The venue for our walk was an abandoned golf course:
This is the place. I haven't been here since the accident. It's a deserted field.
I went home at about half past nine. Everything was normal in October, so I went to work. Before six o'clock in the afternoon, as soon as I opened the door, I smelled a very bad smell, that is, the pungent smell of toilet cleaner and so on. I saw that October vomited on his bed and was incontinent.
At this time, October was able to run and jump by itself and eat normally. I didn't think it was right at that time. I knew the habits of October very well after raising it for such a long time. I was afraid that I was making a mountain out of a molehill, so I discussed it with my husband. My husband felt that he might have a bad stomach. After all, he had been sick since he was a child, so he wanted to observe it again. (This should be the second mistake, too careless. You should feel something wrong and be sent to the hospital immediately.
At nine o'clock in the evening, I vomited again in October. In addition to the undigested food in the vomit, there was no other thing I thought I had eaten in disorder. (By the way, I would like to remind you that if you think there is a problem with the vomit of small animals at home, you must take pictures dropping, including the process of vomiting. I took a video to facilitate the doctor later.) And October began to have mental problems. Excessive excitement, but the body is very depressed, especially like a drug addict, there is a slight shiver, the nose is very dry, but in the runny nose, at this time has not liked to stand, has been lying, afraid of light, afraid of sound, afraid of staying alone must let us accompany, and then vomited twice in the middle of the night, and urinary incontinence also diarrhea.
At this time, I realized that it was really serious, because the vomit and urine in October had a very bad smell of chemical elements, like pesticides and so on, so I was sent to the hospital immediately the next morning.
Hospitalization
In the hospital registration examination, the doctor knew at a glance that October must be eating the wrong thing, but he still did a stool examination to exclude infectious diseases and parasites, did blood biochemistry, took X-rays and B-mode ultrasound, blood biochemistry showed that creatinine and urea nitrogen were tens of times higher than normal value, acute renal failure, must be poisoning, and immediately went through the hospitalization procedures for infusion and kidney dialysis.
Began to lose weight, with indwelling needles buried in his legs and hair shaved on his stomach for B-mode ultrasound.
(No response to my voice greeting)
The doctor issued two critical notices in a row. My husband has been crying every day. At this time, what he needs most in October is to eat. I have to coax October to eat in the hospital every day. I don't eat kidney prescription food. I don't eat kidney prescription canned food. Only boiled chicken breast will eat a little. The doctor said that the gastric mucosa and oral mucosa caused by poisoning are damaged. And kidney failure can also lead to loss of appetite.
Situation within 6 months after discharge
During the Spring Festival, we took October home. At this time, although the poison had been metabolized, the function of the damaged organs had not been restored. The state of October was: no strength, no food, no water, urinary incontinence, no stool.
I just went home for the Spring Festival in October, and I have no spirit at all.
(I can only eat kidney prescription food every day)
6 months after discharge
Half a year later, October is a year of physical examination twice, once to do blood biochemistry, once to do B-mode ultrasound, now it has been a year and a half, October's physical condition has recovered very well, the doctor said every time it is lucky, but the organ damage left by poisoning is irreversible, October every time to do B-mode ultrasound kidney condition will be a little worse than last time, the doctor said this is unavoidable. Has turned into chronic renal failure.
What we can do is to take more exercise in October, regular medication (drugs to protect the kidney) to enhance physical fitness, keep your mouth shut, daily can only eat low-sodium, low-phosphorus and low-protein food, that is, some vegetables and fruits, plus prescription food, October has never eaten anything outside, now the appearance looks like a normal dog, but the energy and physical strength are not as good as before the illness. It takes a lot of time to sleep every day. And the problem of bad breath is difficult to solve, there will be a smell of ammonia, long-term single food also leads to easy dental calculus. Kidney failure can also lead to other systemic diseases, such as anemia.

Sum up
1. My advice is not to let the dog go in an unfamiliar place. Since the poisoning, I have never dared to take him to play outside the community.
These are some of my experience, involving professional knowledge, please consult professionals, and finally give you a look at the full recovery of October!
