Default Fluid in Rudy's belly

Well, after several months of an ill little 7 yr old Yorkie I finally know what's going on. It's a condition mentioned here lymphagietasia?(sp) a PLE condition common to yorkies. I have spent almost $4,000 trying to find out what's wrong. (He's always had tummy troubles so no vet insurance for this.) Blood work, stool samples, pee samples, biopsies, different vets, different foods, metronizanole/flagyl antibiotics etc. It worries me because there is lots of fluid in Rudy's belly but the vet is trying to determine whether prednizone is the way to go. I work and come home and am afraid to leave my little guy. This is no way to live and is heart-wrenching watching my dog waste away. I have never joined something like this but everyone seems to be going through the exact same thing. I just don't want my dog in pain.
