We are home now. Ultra sound showed thickening and inflammation on the intestines, so we are having the endoscopy on Monday morning. Probable diagnosis IBD or lymphangiectasia. Cookie is very lucky to be doing so well because they keep stressing that lymphangiectasia is much harder to respond to treatment and they are hoping it is IBD instead. He will be started on prednisone after the procedure regardless of the diagnosis and it will also be a couple days before we have the biopsy results back. Apparently, the medication treatments for both are the same, but the diets are different. Thank you everyone for your prayers. I am so grateful to have Yorkie Talk and all the support and knowledge on this board. |
