Gozen, our female puppy, died today at one month from kidney failure. She had been staying at the vet clinic for most of the week and was getting weaker by the hour. They decided to operate to check what was wrong and found out that one of her kidneys had been almost totally eaten away by something. The current theory is that her mother might have transmitted her a bacteria, and she couldn't fight it as she was already quite weak. It is also probably what killed her brother Shinkuro on week one. It is most certainly what caused her rapid weight loss and prevented her from gaining much weight to start with.
They took a sample of the damaged kidney and sent it for further analysis. Hanabi, our female pug, is now under antibiotics and intestinal flora supplements.
