    Desperate for help -Chronic E. Canis

    I'm just going to paste the same message as I did in the 'My dog is sick' forum.................Please does anyone out there have a dog who has recovered from chronic E. Canis? Jay is barely an year old and was not diagnosed until late February. His vet says that his kidneys have been affected too. Typically, his previous vet completely misread the signs, and didnt realise the significance of the fact that he was terribly, terribly underweight. He merely prescribed a ton of supplements. At the moment, Jay is being treated with Doxycyclin -he's been through two courses of steroids too. He was given 800ml of saline intravenously, as he doesnt take any water, (but he takes flavoured milk). He seems to be off his food too. And despite what the doctor said was meds to stimulate his kidneys to produce urine, he seems to be peeing less than usual. He's also developed a hematome -nearly half a litre of fluid and water was withdrawn from it yesterday. I probably sound really incoherent, but I'm desperate for hope, advice, diet suggestions, anything and everything. Please help me.
