What is his normal weight? Does he take high doses of steroids?
Is he on supplements? Why has he lost his coat? Has anyone suggested Melatonin for him? That does help hair regrowth...you might want to ask about that.
I have a pup with PLE so that is why I am asking. As to the dentist...the fact that you are being referred to a specialist is good. He/she should be able to tell you about the risks involved if there are any.
My Cookie who has lymphangectasia recently had surgery for a torn ligament and recovered just fine...she is on steroids and healed quite well. She also had a dental this year.
How are Gingers protein levels? If they are ok, I would think he might be ok with the dentist....the dentist I used recently for one of my high risk pups was VERY thorough and did a full medical work up first. |
