Blood test may show low blood protein levels but not always. This is a common disease for Yorkies and they lose protein. They need zero fat and high quality protein. This is a slow process to figure out what she can and cant eat. This week plain rice next week throw in lean ground turkey if that works then may green beans for a week. So far so good. I hope this thread will help someone who is having the same symptoms my Lola has. |
our vet told me today hydrolized diets and steroids are used in severe cases and dee dee is on a hydrolized diet purina ha which is low protein as she has mvd
and she is on temarilp for allergies so may be why it is not showing up on blood work. He told me if we see her protein levels drop then this could be an issue but her protein levels are fine on all her blood work. Just curious are the stools colitis looking and some greasy looking? I was going to have tli done next blood work up - she has not symptoms other than off and on diarhea and i thought it was the probiotics as that was not stopping it which it usually does so why i was so stumped - and it is a stinky stool too - just curious as after vet mentioned this i need to learn more about it as he said to keep an eye on her stools and if they get worse let him know and now i will pay close attention to protein on her blood work and i will go back and check to see if it has dropped at all as well
