I have been reading all afternoon about kidney disease and addison's in dogs

Lexi has lost 13lbs in 2 months will not eat anymore she turns her nose up at treats, chicken, steak you name it.. she recently was pregnant and carried it to term, she was overdue a couple days so i took her to the vets they did a ultrasound puppy had no heartbeat (it did a week prior to this) so needless to say she lost her singleton puppy and had a c section to remove it and get spayed at the same time,that was 10 day ago we figured the lack of appetite was due to her being depressed and the surgery (she had a false pregnancy a year ago and her appetite was pretty low for about 2 months she lost some weight but she bounced right back) she is at the vets as we speak for the weekend they did blood work and she had 3 things that were very very low and 2 that were too high ... I am not sure what the 5 things were as i forgot to grab the paper when i left i was a mess and wasn't thinking about taking the paper with me ... the vet gave her fluids and some medication (prednisone i believe)

she is only 3 1/2 years old is it common to have kidney failure at such a young age? i read addisons is something that you usually will see 4-7 years old


i am hoping its not kidney failure as i don't want to lose my best friend

anyone here have a dog with addison's and is medication working:(
