OK
had a chat to someone at the liverpool university vet college who we know
obviously this is all speculative but:
if its a sudden onset (i.e no previous symptoms) then a very common cause is that the dog has ingested something that has triggered the renal failure. The type of area yo livein is important here as this will help narrow the possibilities when it comes to determining any toxins present
normal bloods will not show up addisons (next bit is a copy\paste from a txt)
---------------------------------------
Addisons disease - normal bloods can say kidney, however poss electrolytes are wrong, steroid responsive and fluid responsive - get their vet to check.
if its acute renal failure the administration of fluids x 48 hours will often fix, also poss drug exposure reqd.
chronic renal failure - is urine dilute or concentrated, if so high poss of infections - treat with fluids and antibios
pre renal - lack of blood to kidneys also puts up kidney blood levels, often sign of something else such as heart problem
----------------------------------------
hope above is of use (usual disclaimer about accepting advice from a penguin on the interweb)

F.O.A.D
He was a lot older than your boy though. It was his time...
oh yes,another thing,the vet said he's 11,not 9. (I thought he was 7 for a few years) I'll try some of that honey Topaz,as I said to Pingu,the least I can do is everything I can.
thanks peoples

I found him behind the shed this morning,i was expecting him to be dead,but I don't think it was cold enough,he went out at about 4am. I think he knows,and he's ready. It's me that's holding him back,and that's pretty fucking selfish. I wanted to give him the chance to die at home,but i don't think that it's going to be fair on him. He's so frail and weak.
this is gonna be a bugger of a day at work.
But,trying to put a bright spin on it,there's going to be a little doggy,wagging its tail at the bluecross,who's going to get a new home for christmas.

Realising that they 'know' is a bit of a relief I think, still kills though
New doggy though

aw mate - crying for you, baby.
one thing urban really has helped me with is understanding how much dog owners get from their relationships.
it doesn't make you less sad, but great to be able to say that he had a fantastic, joyful life.

mate same thing happened to me and mine 3 yrs ago , my heart goes out to you
This was the last thread I read before going to work last night. Was soooo hoping the next post from xes was going to be good news.
I don't think I'm gonna cope when the eldest of me two snuffs it - and they don't even live with me anymore.
Hope you're doing ok xes, I can only imagine what it's like when yer best friend is on his last legs

he was in his chair in the conservatory. he perked up a bit when he saw me,well,his eyes opened fully and his ears pricked up. But he's gone back outside now,standing over the outside water bowl. Still haven't called the vets,I wonder if they're open tomorow,I think I need another night for cuddles. (I'm desperatly hoping I don't have to take him down,I hate crying in public
it's all me me me ain't it 
)Ach!
Sorry, xes.
Sounds like he may be in some pain, might be good to get him to the vet ASAP, or get some drugs in him.
My big Kim died this year and my mate (a veterinary surgeon I've known for over a decade - you need to know someone like that when you've been through 9 dogs, including the five old ones still alive).......
......Anyway, he gave me TRAMADOL for Kim - worked well for the last few days before I had her put down (eleven years old, she had stomach cancer).
She was comfy, if a bit glazed, wobbly and goofy on the Tramodol.
I ended it when I considered the quality of her life did not merit my desire for her sustainance.
She's in no more pain.
Take care of yourself and him, xes.
I'm sure you believe that he'll always be with you.
Blessings.
Woof
