Canine Lymphangiectasia (CIL) discussion

I'm so thankful to have found this forum.  My little man goes in for endoscopy/colonoscopy this afternoon, but they have already said they are 99% sure it is CIL.  Tobago is an 11 year old Jack Russell Terrier.  We have already started him on the Royal Canin GI low fat canned and dry foods.

I have an amazing vet in Fulshear, Texas who sent me up to Texas A&M Animal Hospital after we had run every test we could.

The posts that I read today give me a little bit of hope.  I would hate to but Toby through all of this if there was no hope.  

Thanks so much.  I'm sure I will have lots of questions once we get the biopsy results and figure out which meds to try first.

Welcome to you and Tobago. I hope the endo/colonoscopy went well and it gives you the information you need. There's nothing worse than not knowing what is going on. My Diva was 8 years old when all of this started. I'm so glad to hear you have vets who are knowledgeable about CIL.
