 Get a Good Vet for Scruffy
Scruffy's Mom -
I'm sorry to hear that Scruffy is suffering and you are scared. When my Jock first got sick, I heard many of the same potential diagnoses from my family vet. However, he knew that he didn't have the expertise to treat something so specialized, so he referred me to an internal medicine specialist who really focuses on intestinal problems, often in small dogs. She was able to diagnose in minutes what our family vet could only speculate about. I think the key to my Yorkie's successful management of his disease (lymphangectasia) has been high-quality specialized vet care and a good partnership between the specialist, our family vet and us.
Good luck. Let me know if you have any specific questions.
