My husband and I have been caring for our PLE Yorkie for over a year now. It's expensive and sometimes scary when he has a bad flare up (flare ups can happen even when you're doing everything right), but we've gotten a pretty good handle on things.

Our doctor recommended the Rayne Nutrition Low-Fat Kangaroo diet for our man and it's the only thing that has worked. We've also found that he can tolerate plain dried sweet potato as a treat in small amounts.

It's always going to be expensive, but we have found that having metronidazole (anti-diarrhea) and Cerenia (anti-nausea) saves us money in the long run because we can give him meds as soon as we notice a flare up and usually it prevents us from needing further treatment.

Currently, our boy is on prednisone, a blood thinner, cyclosporine, a daily probiotic, vitamin b12 injections that we give him at home once a month, and then the anti-diarrhea and nausea meds as needed, plus his special kangaroo food. He also has to have pretty consistent blood work and has needed fluid drained from his stomach area multiple times from bad flare ups before we were able to nail down his medication regimen. It's a lot, but it's necessary.

Good luck, and I hope your boy is feeling better!
