I am so sorry to hear about dear Beanie. It doesn't matter how long they are with us, its never long enough. Beanie sounds as though she has had a wonderful life with two people who have cherished her and taken fabulous care of her.

From my experience, when the kidneys decide to shut down it can be quite quick. The stress of losing her friend Charlie could have exacerabated the whole process too.

When I lost my Jazz to kidney failure, I asked the vet if he is was in pain and she said no. They just feel woozey as though they have a really bad hangover. A decent vet, will understand what you are going through and will be completely sympathetic. If you wanted to let her go, then a decent vet will come out and do that for you in your home so Beanie doesn't need to have the stress of going anywhere. It is the hardest decision any pet owner has to be make as you always hold on to hope beyond hope. Sending you both huge cyber hugs and a gentle smooth for dear Beanie.
