| You caught her in time. I just had a call from a girlfriend, who also uses Dr. Hawthorne and her girl lost the battle with it yesterday morning. She was 7 years old.

| Wanted to give everyone an update on my Lola. She is doing great. She has one BM a day and it semi hard. After a week on the rice we then added no fat ground turkey to the rice and she did great. I just started adding peas to the rice and turkey and she seems to be fine. Also baked her a sweet potato and it seems to agree with her system. She is still on Metro but only once a day. This disease can be controlled by her diet. Also introducing different foods one at a time to make sure they agree with her system. |

| this is so wild as i was going to post a thread for this and i see it here already. I took my dee dee to vet today for a swollen vulva she keeps licking at it so we did urinalysis and culture to lab by a free catch. I told him dd is having bouts of diarhea off and on and it is greasy like yet her blood work was totally normal in July and feb as she is gets blood work twice a year since on temarilp for allergies and he brought this up and said it runs in the breed. I told him is that the same as EPI and he said NO it is different as it is tied to the fats, etc but it runs in this breed for mid life yorkies and dee dee is 5 1/2 so he mentioned if she starts to get worse with loose stools to keep an eye on it - I thought it was still from metacam incident back in february and he said NO that was way too long ago and dogs with allergies tend to have ibd and this is tied to ibd but it is mainly diagnosed with lower proteins in the blood is when they notice it is happening but it is very common in yorkies. I have to read the thread but i thought i would post real quick what i learned today about this |

| I know Lisette is following Dr Hawthorne's instructions to the T, contributing to her girl's improvement. He is so knowledgable in the Yorkshire Terrier, it just amazes me. He owns one of my mentor's yorkies, and is the vet of most yorkie exhibitor/breeders in Dallas. I still make calls to him for advice. A wonderful vet that sits on the Board on Vetenarians, works with Dr Centers. I can't speak too highly of him. An added plus.....he does all the dental work on the dogs that see him. Yep! no vet tech, says your paying vet fees, you get a vet to do the job, my techs are here to assist me, not to do my work.
