Expert Answer

How long a dog with uremia can survive is hard to estimate, but proper treatment generally relieves pain and extends life. Symptoms include lethargy, poor appetite, vomiting, drowsiness, diarrhea, breathing difficulty, and impaired consciousness.

It is mostly caused by acute or chronic renal failure, chronic nephritis, or chronic pyelonephritis. If you notice these signs, take the dog to a vet promptly.
