I don't know if it causes any pain...I don't think so as my vet did not give me anything for pain and she is very good about giving pain meds out as needed. You could call your vet and ask about that.
You definitely have to get the medicine in her. I don't think I would worry myself too much about food allergies unless they were life threatening types...I don't think food caused this. Did you vet think so? You could ask him for an opinion on what to feed her. Maybe for now, you could just make some pasta or rice with some tilapia in it if you think chicken is an issue for her.
I don't know what to say about the steroids. I have never had a problem using them. Are you sure she cannot take them? Maybe it was just a fluke that she had an issue? I don't know. I do think that the pentoxifylline should work. I just have not used it myself.
Don't let her lick her leg! If you have to put an E Collar on, I would do that because she could end up with an infection. She has enough issues right now.
Try really hard to keep your mood calm when around her....if you are stressed out so will she be. Take some deep breaths!
Oh...and I asked about protein levels because that is usually the first clue that there is a protein losing condition. They will lost protein. I am sure that the vet checked them and they are ok. I just was wondering why you suspect lymphangectasia. Have you discussed this with the vet? |
