We’ve been waiting by the phone with bated breath (except Lexie has had something else on her breath, maybe from that mole we killed) for a week now for the V.E.T. to call with news on Duchess. Cheryl finally got the call the other day. Diagnosis: Lymphangiectasia. Don’t worry, we can’t say it either. We are still waiting on a treatment plan. It will either include medicine, an even more specialized diet or a combination of both. The way we understand lymphangiectasia is Duchess not only has trouble processing proteins, but also fats. It’s times like these when Google is another of man’s best friends. Our Google search on lymphangiectasia revealed a support group for people with Malteses with this disease. These days you can find anything online, even a golden retriever blogging.
