Just curious about what tests have been done. Normally to obtain an accurate diagnosis, a scope and biopsy are done. In Cookie's case, she had two things going on...lymphangectasia and IBD, so it was critical to know that so that an appropriate diet could be given.
I took my Cookie to a specialist and I credit her health so far to the advanced knowledge of the disease by the boarded internist and the vet nutritonist.
She has never had any issues at all with her albumin level. She has had blood work done every 3 months to keep an eye on things.
