Sorry to hear. There are procedures for flushing the kidneys that can be done, if it turns out not to be an infection. I believe it requires a few days stay at the vet's office. This was an option for our elderly Husky who saw her kidney levels slowly increase over about a 2yr period. Also look into specialized kidney support diets.

From what I understand, the Lyme vaccine is only about 80% effective, and dogs can have Lyme without being symptomatic. Did he get tested for Lyme yesterday?

2yrs is awfully young, is kidney disease a genetic issue with Cattle Dogs? Might be worth a search.
