Yes, Dr. Centers works with PLE all the time....
never have dealt with it nor do i want to but i know you have to be on it fast and i know susan Davis saved jill's life a few months ago as vets basically did not give a good outcome and she is doing great now so I feel strongly she is the best in treating this nutritionally as i have seen her help a few of these dogs now. The only treatment is steroids and added protein to diet to keep the protein up in the body so they do not lose it too fast and keep the body balanced this way. If the dog goes down then plasma transfusion. Some vets use hepastarch but that did nothing for jill the plasma helped her though.
