Has anybody any experience of this?
P has had a oedema under his belly for weeks and the vet has done a few tests and now wants to do a belly scan.
Both blood tests show low protein levels, his urine and pooh has been tested and that is fine. He is a happy chappy in himself with normal temperature and pulse etc. The swelling is getting larger and has now spread to his sheath but i have to wait until next week for the scan as the guy who does the scannig is on holiday this week.
I think it will show P has Inflmmatory Bowel Disease, so I am trying to prepare myself...
Thanks, Nina

From what I have read IBD appears to coincide with multiple colic episodes and loss of condition, what is the assumed link with the oedema as this does not appear under common symptoms?
