I have an 8 year old female mongrel with kidney failure issues.?

Question:

The initial blood report showed that she had a BUN level of 175 and a creanitine level of 5. After 8 days of fluid therapy the levels were brought down to BUN 66 and creanitine 2.5. All through this period she was eating a little food and then after the levels were brought down was looking for food and eating well and drinking water.
She ate very well on a Sunday, 5 days after the IV fluids were stopped. Then she lost her appetite again. On Sunday she had some of our food with some spicy stuff in it - little bit of chillie.
My vet suspects it to be gastric problems due to the spice, so, she was treated for gastric problems and when yoghurt was given she ate it and since then has started to drink milk and eat a little bit of chicken. She is very active.
Anyway, another blood test was done and that shows that her bUN level had gone upto 81 and creanitine to 3.7. We are about to start the IV therapy again to lower the these levels.
All in all, she is very active. Appreciate any comments

Answers:
First, try asking again in the pet section, you may get some more animal specific answers there.
I'm not an expert, but I thought that dogs with kidney failure needed a special diet which is low in salts and proteins. This can usually be bought through your vet. I'm surprised the vet didn't mention it.
Good luck, I hope your dog does well, its such a worry when they are poorly.
