It is my understanding that kidney failure can be the result of multiple
factors.  Last year I had to euthanize my 13-month old male Berner due to
severe kidney failure.  His autopsy lab reports diagnosed the problem as
glomerulonephritis.  Glomerulonephritis can be a secondary result of another
medical problem, or can be the primary problem (resulting from being
genetically passed on).  Bunker's lab report stated that his
glomerulonephritis was probably the inherited kind that is passed on
genetically in consideration of his young age.  I don't know if your dog has
this same condition, but it is something that you could ask your vet
about/investigate.  If you type in the word Glomerulonephritis under Search
on the internet, you can find a lot of information on it.  I also found
someone that I spoke to at GDC to be helpful.  If you would like to e-mail
me privately, I would be happy to give you name of the contact at the GDC.
