I'm going to give you a completely different perspective. My Sissy was diagnosed with Protein Losing Enteropathy (the worst of the digestive disorders - Lymphagiestacia is a form of this) two years ago ~ she is doing just fine.
She has never been on prednisone or any other steriod. They do nothing to heal the intestinal system - only act as a bandaid for the inflammation. We consulted with Susan Davis (pet nutrionist) and Dr. Gordon for diet and supplementation. She has some really great holistic supplements that actually do help heal the intestinal system. B12 injections should be a regular part of the treatment plan as well. Sissy is on a daily probiotic, a liver support formula, digestive enzymes, vitamineral green, and a few intestinal support formulas. Her diet is very specific as well, but not a prescription formula.
The harsh reality is that "standard" treatment is steriods, steroids and more steriods and "managing" symptoms until they die. But this is totally not necessary. Please look at other alternatives.......feel free to PM me if you'd like more details.
