I wanted to add that Sophie has a very large tummy. She looks like she is 9 months pregnant. Her waist measures 20 1/2 inches and she is very uncomfortable however they do not want to treat her for this as long as her breathing is not affected. Her albumin is very low and her calcium is very low. The vet that is treating her is board certified in both pathology and internal med. I am told the stomach will go down as the protein level comes up but that it will take quite a while for that to happen. They tell me she will live months to years. It's good to know that there are others who have dogs living well beyond what they are telling me.
