Default Re: Need help and advice!

The vet said he had excess protein in his pee, and ruled it as his kidney was failing, unfortunately the vet doesn't seem to care too much to go into detail, after talking it over with the other person taking care of our hammy, he only came to that conclusion because of excess protein, we were giving him quite a bit of veggies and a piece of chicken every 3 days prior to this, so it could be the reason of excess protein, the vet didn't bother to ask about his diet or advice on what he should he, which doesn't help at all.

All he said was to continue taking the dialysis, we're going to take his pee to test again soon, is there any way to tell, if his protein levels go down, if it was due to his own kidney's doing or the dialysis? Are there any downsides to taking dialysis powder? Which was what the vet prescribed.

And how are those veggies in terms of protein/phosphorus/sodium/potassium levels? If our hammy does have failing kidneys, would they still be okay for him or should some be omitted?

Edit: few hours ago our hammy, Pandy, seemed to have been willing to come out and run around, he seemed quite active then compared to the past few days.
