|  Cookie - Lymphangectasia Update Just returned from the vet with Cookie....she was seen for her two week check up/labs. I am just beyond thrilled with her results! Her protein levels are all normal! For those of you who don't know the history, this is her original thread that I closed before Christmas due to her illness and I had so much on my plate at the time. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sic...g-protein.html Cookie is on prednisone, metranidozole and pepcid. The meds are more for her gastritis and IBD than anything else.. ... While the prednizone can help a bit with the lymphangectasia it was primarily given for the IBD. She is going to be taken off of the metronidazole and pepcid in a couple of weeks and will see the specialist next month. He said he will probably eventually wean her off of the prednisone if she is doing well. She is on a home cooked diet now ... the latest research in this illness is pointing towards diet as being the number one key to treatment. The one thing I would advise anyone with a pup with this illness is to do a consult with a vet nutrionist. It is important that the correct amount of foods and supplements be given. I want to thank all of you who have stayed in touch with me for your kind words and support...and most of all your prayers. I believe that those prayers have played a huge part in Cookie's good health. And, they have comforted me. I so love my pups and her diagnosis was quite stressful for me. I received a wonderful PM from someone who never comes to YT...she actually signed up just to send me a message about her pup who was diagnosed three years ago and is doing very well! Hopefully stories like this will be encouraging for other people who come here looking for information on lymphangectasia...this disease does show up in yorkies! Here is an interesting link about it: Goldenray Yorkie Lymphangiectasia Protein-Losing Enteropathy PLE Inflammatory Irritable Bowel Disease

| Thank you...I suppose there will be relapses. I don't know. I guess I can hope that it will not happen. One day at a time ....

| That is wonderful news about Cookie. I had heard that nutrition plays a major role in the management of this disease and that home cooked is usually best. Of course, I agree that anyone home cooking for a dog with any illness is playing with fire without consulting a veterinary nutritionist. I'm so glad Cookie is improved, and I hope she has many years ahead of her with good protein levels and enjoyable home cooking.

I have to spread her food out on a jelly roll pan to keep her from snorting it. I have a bowl on order for her to slow her down. She is a happy girl.
