Helping a dog with stage 3 kidney disease?

Pets and Animals

Hello all,

I found the ICES device on a fluke. I stumbled across the study on the cat (thank so much Bob and John for doing this!!) when researching if PEMF could help my dog (I brought him to an alternative vet and she was very kind and considerate and let me bring home a bemer mat to use with him; as I have a chronic illness myself).

Anyway I bought an M1 and overnighted it. He’s in stage 3 kidney failure which only gives him 110 - 200 days; but it seems like from the study and the other posts I’ve read on this forum that it can take a few months to see results?

What should I do to expedite him getting help? I just found PEMF wrap so I’m thinking I should wrap him in night so he can sleep in it and hopefully during the day but this might be difficult as he’s just a small boy (16lbs) and oddly shaped (an Italian greyhound).

Has anyone had success using the device when a dog or cat is this far along with kidney disease? Thank you.

Does your iggy have a jumper/light sweater that you could sew the M1 coils onto? and maybe sew on a little pocket for the unit itself?

That sounds like a really good idea, thank you! He has mostly tshirts but I’m hoping I can find him a jumper in his clothes somewhere (that still fits him) and get a tailor to sew some pockets onto his clothing. Thank you so so much!!

I forgot to add in my original post that we’ve also switched him to vegan. We found a book on kidney disease for humans that said the best diet was a vegan diet and then we stumbled across a vegan dog book where the author has had some success treating dogs that have my dogs condition.

I have seen many studies showing high amounts of niacinamide and thiamine can help stall progression of kidney disease.

FWIW, we did the same for our dog with gallbladder and liver disease and he lived 2 years extra in our opinion and passed at 14.5yrs. ICES PEMF was a blessing. Rooting for your pup!!!

Hello TajD,

Thank you so much!!

I just wanted to post an update here.

We’ve been using the M1 for 30 mins 3x daily (I know it’s a lot) and switched him to a vegan diet (there’s a book about stopping or reversing kidney disease for humans with a lot of research if they go on a vegan diet) and all of his numbers have been the same since he got sick. He seems to be stable (but unfortunately his numbers haven’t completely reversed. His urine in protein went down very very slightly). He has been diagnosed with lyme disease twice which is a highly underrated and a hell of a disease, but he looks and has been doing well. :slight_smile:

I wish people were more open to trying this treatment. I tried posting it on a facebook group for dogs with kidney disease and no one wanted to listen to me. Anyway, our fingers are crossed that our boy lives a long life. Thank you for all of the help from everyone here especially from the Bob and everyone who’s commented on this thread.

That is great news he seems to be stable! My only thought would be to, if you can, try the M1 for 8+ hours a day if not 24x7 over the kidneys.
