* 4 yo old FS Min Schzauzer with history of intermittent vomiting/Diarrhea and mild weight loss x 10 weeks

* prev DVM treated with cerenia & metronidazole

* persistent hypoproteinemia (TP 4.9, Alb 3.0, Globulin 1.9 at Antech), all else WNL

* currently on I/D & probiotics (synacore)

* looks like something is happening in SI to cause some of her symptoms – early IBD/ or PLE ?? lymphangiectasia, should I suspect it?

* thinkning about doing surgical biopsies of SI and more if signs are persistent!

Clinical signs do fit IBD. Albumin not really low enough for PLE. Globulins are very low so may have some form of immune deficiency. Would run serum protein electrophoresis and if you can serum immunoglobulin fractions.
