Thanks so much for your response. Bonnie is 2 years old and is coming to the end of her perscription which is the first time she's ever been on the drugs for her condition. The meds she's on are Omeprazole 10mg capsules once daily, Marbocyl 20 mg once daily, and prednidale 5mg once daily, the diet the vet has given to us is Virbac digestive vet complex?

However I think this may be one of very few cases the vet has come across so vast experience in this condition was not their forte?

Can you please advise if you feel this is the right diet? And meds she should be on?

Her tummy is still really bloated, however she is now eating, drinking passing stools and urine, and her little personality is slowly coming back so they surely are signs of improvement? The vets advise her protein levels are up by a third and her bloods are slowly stabilising, she barked at the door for the first time in over a week today :-)

We only rescued Bonnie 6 months ago from a puppy farm where she had no quality of life and had had 2 litters of her own, so for her to be unwell now is upsetting as she hasn't had the life she deserves.

Thanks for all your help.
