Sorry for some reason my earlier post posted - but I thought I deleted it so I re-wrote it lol

Well we just got back from the Vet, at this point we've opted not to do the biopsy because we don't have $1300 right now. They did give us Pepcid to help with the acid reflux, and told to continue the Reglan, no food/water tonight to calm the stomach.

Blood Work that was abnormal:
Cobalamin Fasting <150 ng/L
*consider doing TLI to rule out EPI
TLI was normal.

Folate Fasting 4.8 ug/L
*consistent with disease affecting the proximal small intestine.

Bile Acids, Fasting - 35
Post Fasting - 39

CBC showed:
Hgb 18.8 - High
Hct 58.5 - High

Total Plasma Solids 3.4 - Low
PCV (Spun Hot) 56 - High
Lymphocytes 291 - Low
Atypical Lymph 97 - High

B/C Ratio 25.6 - High
Alk. Phos. 20 - Low
Calcium 7.2 - Low
Cholesterol 82 - Low

Amylase 1541 - High
Total Protein 3 - Low
Albumin/Globulin each 1.5 - Low
Sodium 140 - Low

Without biopsy she's saying the intestinal disease is more significant that the liver (microvasular displaysia she says could be a possible with the liver) ... so the intestinal disease is either IBD or Lymphagiectasia.

No Pred yet she says, but possibly in the near future.

Right now she's on I/D (1 can day mixed with chicken)
Reglan 3/day
Endosorb 3/day
Flagyl 2/day
Pepcid 1/day
and lots of TLC from both parents

Where to go from here - no idea?
