They have confirmed the disease but have told me the prognosis in yorkies is not the greatest. Other breeds have a better prognosis. They called me this morning and told me he ate yesterday and last night but not this morning. They have him on more than one medication at this time via IV. They are trying to get his protein level up. The fluid is still and will continue to seep into his abdomen. Since yesterday 1/2 lb iof fluid has seeped back in. All yorkie owners need to read up on this disease and be mindful of it. |
have they done a plasma transfusion as those are miracle workers and strongly believe in those over hepastarch. you need to contact
Holistic Veterinarian Pet Nutritionist Holistic Pet Care as this disease is alot like ple and she saved another yorkie on another group and that yorkie is doing great. PLE , LYMPHANGIECSTASIA, AND EPI are all protein losing diseases and lymphangiecstasia is being found in ibd dogs, epi is found in dogs with pancreatitis over and over so all tied to intestinal tract
