My Chewy has Kidney Failure. He's just not eating and I'm giving him water every 2 hours. Less if I don't have to work. I don't know how long he's got.:...8...

How do you know he has renal failure,did a vet tell you this?..is it chronic or acute?.
Gps with chronic renal failure can go on for months with a good quality of life as the condition is not painful.
If this is acute renal failure the piggy will quite possibly develope severe diarrheoa,and will collapse and die quite soon after.I am afraid there is nothing you can do except keep him as comfy as possible.

He took blood and that's how he found out. He told me it was advanced. Thank you all for the warm wishes. I am doing all I can for him. When I'm at work my mom gives him water. And thank you for the link. That was very useful. There's nothing the vet can do for him. But I'm doing what I can for him. To make it easy for him.
