There is no cure for Lymphangiectasia. Its all about the diet. Lolas intestines where totally inflamed and infected with fungus, and still are. But we needed her to eat. This is a big part of getting stronger so that everything can heal. Lymphangiectasia can cause her to lose too much weight and starve herself to death. Ladyjane is the one that told me about it and this drug saved my girls life. This is anti depressant in humans but has been found to work wonders on animals. My Lola was on pred and it almost killed her. Steroids are nothing to play around with.
