Hello. My name is Melanie, and I’m from Indiana. My 6 year old male, Blue Merle Sheltie was just diagnosed 3 days ago with Chylothorax, and basically sent home with a death sentence. This is the sweetest little boy, and I am trying to fight for his life. I am unable to afford the surgery, and understand the success rate is low. I have been researching this disease, and see where a low fat diet and Lutin may slow down the fluids from building up in his chest cavity. We had 1 liter drained from the left side of his chest, and nearly that on the right side. Last night, I browned 100% pure ground venison (no fats added) and mixed it with white rice. He ate it like a little trooper – thank you, Lord. I have not started him on the Lutin, as I’m uncertain on the dosage. He weighs approx. 40 pounds… he’s lost about 5 pounds. I am just reaching out for any help anyone could offer. Cooper and I thank you tremendously.
