Right now she is doing well, she is active and playing, full of energy (from the predisone probably). As you probably know the outlook is guarded but for now she is doing well.
Again thanks for all your help and kind words.

did her blood work show low protein, cholesterol and calcium as that is how they diagnose lympangastecia?
