Tulip has PLE, she had a plasma transfusion last week and her bloat was gone within 2 days, she is on prednisone and special diet. Tulip also has giardia an intestinal parasite. We are giving her medicine for that too, as well as our other 2 dogs. We hope that the giardia in a dog as small as Tulip actually caused the PLE, but blood tests next week will measure her protein, and we will test again for giardia.
Tulip eats like a horse but struggles to gain weight.
She is a fighter! |
