I am so sorry to read your sweet pup has kidney and PROTEIN-LOSING ENTEROPATHY. My Sophie contracted the disease when she was five and lived until I helped her to the Rainbow Bridge when she was 13.

Is she retaining fluid on her chest? Sophie was diagnosed by a second opinion vet with the disease and always remember him telling me gently "she is fragile". Her little bones stuck out on her back and lost muscle mass.

So glad Tilly has the strong will to live. Welcome to Yorkie Talk and unfortunately the protein loss affects a lot of Yorkies.

Warmly, Deborah
