Welcome to YT!

My Cookie has PLE. She was scoped and diagnosed in Dec 2011 and has lymphangectasia and IBD. She is doing very welL! Just had a check up and her albumin is fine! She responded to treatment (antibiotics and prednisone in 2011 and was only this past year taken off of the prednisone). Sometimes they must stay on a low dose every other day but each case is different. Here is a link to her thread that may give you some information that will be helpful:

I definitely recommend a specialist and you might also want to consider a vet nutrition consult. As to the enlarged heart, many times this is true but not always a big issue. I am sure the specialist will help you with understanding the role of her heart. Hopefully not a big deal!

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. I will also keep an eye on this thread...hope you stick around YT and keep us posted on how things are going!
