hi i also went through the same with my last boxer she was 11 when she was diagnoised with uat our old girl lost nearly all her hair it never grew back even the patch on her leg that they shaved for blood tests never grew back .. she was fine on drugs for uat but did become slightly incontinent but that could have been her age sadly she started taking seizures at 14 and died i would try the kidney diet i did know a dog on it and he seemed to do well
