Hi my teedy has the same thing. The vet wants to do an instestional biopsy which he was schedulede to have last Thursday and the vet canceled it due to another yorkie that was in Labor. So now I am doubting why should I do this if this is what he has. His ultra sounds show that his intestines are very inflammed..this was his second one and it is worse than the last. He changed his diet to LD and put him on some vitamin thing and predisone. He is doing just fine but...........he was doing fine when I took him in there. His only problem is his swollen adolemen. I just don't get it. He doesn't have any other symptoms that others are describing. So I am really stuck on the next step. I am sorry you are going through the same thing. I have already spent over $2,000 and can't even afford that.They have you no matter what. Okay llater mikkee.
