My yorkie Dirk is sick. He acted like he had something stuck in his throat. He would cough and trie to throw something up but nothing came. Then he started laboring to breath. I took him to my vet and we have run tests. Blood work, liver test. His protein level was way below what it should be. 1.5 os considered critical and his was below that. They gave him a plasma transfer and that brought it up to 1.9. He is doing better but we still do not know what is causing it. Dirk is not under weight so I don't think that he is losing protein through his stomach. If you have any ideas please let me know
