It sounds like she wants to monitor the calcium levels and go from there. She is aware of the dog digging in compost isn't she?

I don't think dwerten is saying that she thinks your dog has lymphangiecstasia.
nope just saying what things may cause low calcium and protein in this breed

When you go in take that compost bag with you to show the vet so she can see what was eaten this might help her as well to rule this out as the cause

how long after the compost incident did the diarrhea start?

I personally think it is more tied to the compost like manolos mom dog
