I have a male yorkie he was 14 lbs. He is currently in the hospital. He was diagnosed with Lymphangiectasia. It is predisposed with yorkies. Cocoa started with sporatic vomiting about every week or so. I noticed his belly getting fat and cut back on his food. That was 6 months ago. I took him to the hospital sunday night because his belly was 22 inches. He was so bloated. I had several blood tests done in the previous 2 weeks by my vet and we suspected this disease because he had all the symptoms. He had diarrhea for the last two weeks. Yesterday morning they drained 1 1/2 litres of fluid from his belly. That weighed 3 lbs. I don't know yet if my Cocoa is going to make it but my faith is strong and am relying on my faith to bring my baby home. The meds they are giving him is prednisone
