Kidney's

[FrostyPaws]

No, powder or vitamin or steroid, none of that shit matters if your dog has access to all the fresh water it wants. The mistake people make is to cut water during the keep. Never cut water. Furthermore, I always believed in bringing a dog one pound in waterweight over his dried out pit weight. TThat way he has enough water to allow him to work during the show. Some idiots are like.... My dogs kidneys shut down after the show.... I say.. They sure did. It's also smart to have Lasix on hand after the show as part of the recovery, along with solu delta and an iv bag.

Kidneys shut down afterwards mainly because of Rhabdomyolysis. The amount of water the dog has during a show naturally depletes as the show continues on due to fluid volume loss. While Solu Delta (or any type of anti-shock agent) is supremely important, even more important are the fluids as that is what will flush the kidneys to possibly reverse and save the kidneys from Rhabdo.
