She gets a but better after draining fluid, but the solution is temporary. We dont want to pull the plug without exploring all other options, but doctors are either clueless, or are just milking it with every visit.
My parents are devastated. I got them this little girl 8 years ago as a gift.
They have fed her nothing but the best meals, organic chicken, salmon, veggies , kibble. She was always in tip top shape and very lively. |
So sorry to hear of the PLE (which was what I meant above, my typo was PLI). Yes, the abdominocentesis will only be temporary...and are very tough on them.
The only way to possibly save her is to find the actual correlating diseases related to PLE.
Have they done advanced diagnostics with her...? Without doing that, the Vets cannot know what to treat in her and the PLE will continue unabated.
