Hello there! I'm glad you reached out about your dog's intestinal lymphangiectasia. This is a condition where the lymph vessels in the intestines become enlarged, which can lead to protein loss, diarrhea, and sometimes weight loss. It's understandable to be concerned when your furry friend isn't feeling well.
While the exact cause can vary, it often occurs due to inflammation or other intestinal issues that block the normal flow of lymph fluid. Management typically involves feeding a low-fat, highly digestible diet to reduce lymph fluid production. Home-cooked meals might be a good option, but it's vital to ensure they're nutritionally balanced, so consulting with a vet on specific dietary needs is beneficial.
Keep an eye out for signs like persistent diarrhea, severe weight loss, vomiting, or changes in appetite. If any of these signs appear or worsen, it's essential to consult a professional promptly.
If you're noticing these symptoms or have questions about managing the condition, consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. We're here to help ensure your dog gets the right care to feel better soon.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
