pic related is my dog, a little white ankle biter. it started maybe 2-3 months ago once my dad got out of the hospital from a knee surgery, things didn't go the best so we sort of changed things around at the house, one of them being a halt on giving Lola scraps and other human food. I never did it myself but my dad did, you know how older men can get with pets. after the extreme change in diet she adjusted okay at first but then she started acting weird. pissing and shitting all over the house at night and just being a fucking bitch about it. just thought she was mad and letting everybody know about it. she acted fine besides this odd behavior. had energy during the day and everything. even shed a few pounds and got kind of skinny. this last weekend though she got really sick, wouldn't eat or barely drink and she started passing bloody diarrhea and vomiting whatever she ate, couldn't keep anything down. Sunday it got worse as she seemed constipated but was still dribbling this murky dark red blood mixed with some poo but it was mostly straight liquid. she must have lost more weight fast because even in her face she looked skinner. she looked terrible yesterday, barely moving and was in obvious discomfort. walking slow and her back was hunched too. she just laid around all day looking sad as hell. she was taken to the vet this morning and has been diagnosed with pancreatitis and I guess 'acute' renal failure from dehydration? the vet seemed optimistic for the time being, she's gonna stay there until Wednesday. reading up on this is giving me some real mixed answers. some are saying the acute renal failure can be treated completely while the pancreatitis is the more serious concern and vise versa. also that dogs usually don't survive for much longer after an event like this or they make a complete recovery just for the pancreas to act up again in the future

cont- what are the options here? I already know a diet low in protein is probably the best option but, once again, a low protein diet is good for the pancreas but not the kidneys? I'm just getting so many wild answers here I don't know what to make of it. I hope somebody here is more knowledgeable on these diseases and how they overlap with each other. thanks in advance

TL DR my 9 year old chihuahua has a double whammy of pancreatitis and 'acute' renal failure, how is this going to be managed?

Bring it back to the pet store and buy another rat.

Nobody on 4chan can tell you that better than your vet can, sorry bud. I know you're looking for answers because you love your doggo but this is just a board full of other animal and nature lovers, not experts.
