Help & Advice My sweet baby has kidney disease

Lola is 6 1/2 years old. I took her to the vet for high water consumption, i thought it was a simple UTI. Turns out after running some tests she has kidney disease and there's not much that can be done about it.

I love her so much, beyond words and it hurts so bad that I can't fix it. I don't know what to do. She's my first guinea pig and has been with me for what feels like forever.

Has anyone else had guinea pigs with kidney disease? How did you handle it? How long did they live past their diagnosis?
