cello Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I am very sorry to hear about Maya's illness. I too have a girlie that has low protein. Her name is Lady and she was diagnosed six months ago at age 8.5. The low protein was found during routine blood work for a dental, since we thought that that was the reason that she was eating so poorly. We did numerous blood tests, and were referred to the animal specialty hospital here. The internal medicine specialist started with an abdominal ultrasound and then did an endoscopy. They took lots of samples from her intestinal tract during the endoscopy, and sent them off for pathology. The results showed that what she has is called Protein Losing Enteropathy and Lymphangiectasia. We are treating these conditions with an extremely low fat diet of prescription kibble, and with prednisone. After six months, she has now gained back all the weight she lost, and her blood protein levels are in the low normal range. We have been able to reduce her pred to 10mg every other day. I hope and pray that you find the answers for your girl, and that she too can be treated. Lady's condition will never 'get better' - it will be a chronic lifelong condition that we manage. If Maya ends up with the same condition, please feel free to contact me if you need any support. Carol Ann. Quote Molly Weasley Carpenter-Caro - 6 Year Old Standard Poodle.

IAMs Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 Thank you, everyone. I know Leigh and I are struggling quite a bit today, but Maya seems to be taking everything in stride... it's just another day. She's laying on the bed next to me... sleeping the day away like normal. Meanwhile, I'm finding that my first grade team at work is amazing. I had a substitute for yesterday while Maya went in for her exam. I called last night to put in for a substitute for today and tomorrow, and I apologized because I don't have any lesson plans available. On top of that, our report cards are to go home today, and I hadn't prepped them yet. (I was planning on doing that this morning when I went in to school.... which never happened.) My team stepped up and has prepped lesson plans for my substitute for today and tomorrow, and they're prepared to do the same for Thursday and Friday. Also, they got the report cards all set to go home. I just got off the phone with them, and I thanked them profusely Their support is amazing. I couldn't do this without them. I'll probably post again tomorrow once we hear from the surgery team and learn what's going on within Maya's intestine. Keep the warm thoughts flowing.
