procedure done... a sterile US guided abdominocenttesis & cystocentesis was performed, abdominal effusion is very clear, harvested urine appears normal in color.... Plus I got loads of ultrasound pictures they gave me, which means nothing to me when I look at them, but it was nice they gave them to me. let me know what you're thinking!! Thankyou |
yeah that was my concern lymphangiectasia as this is not normal ibd and blood work showed low calcium and low protein which is usually the case with this disease as blood work shows low calcium, low cholesterol and low protein with this disease
what are they recommending at this time?
Personally if this was my dog I would consult
Holistic Veterinarian Pet Nutritionist Holistic Pet Care who is a nutritionist and try to conrol with diet as other treatment will be steroids so maybe she can work with the specialist on this
