My concern is that LS is more an after digestion effect... with her Bloodwork and weight loss I am more concerned with her not even processing her food... this is where the probiotics will help... puts the right bacteria in her gut to aid digestion... I would get her on Benebac (Petsmart) asap... esp with the antibiotics which will kill all the bacteria.

PLE- Protein Losing Enterapathy- Dogs cannot absorb the protein in the diet (simple explanation) Nutrional management is helpful (need to do more research)

Intussuception- a condition where the intestine telescopes over itself... needs surgical repair, can be fatal if left untreated. Can cause a blockage and vomiting.

Liver Shunt: Blood is bypassing the liver, toxins build up in the blood and cause seizures, low protein values usually not seen on bloodwork. Usually doesn't show symptoms till pups are a bit older... 6-8 months.
