I have a 6-year-old Catahoula (male) named Achilles who has ascites. The only symptom is fluid in the abdomen. My vet has medicated him for possible Lyme disease, but recent blood work shows low protein and albumin levels, leading to water retention issues in his tissues. Is this condition fatal, and is there any treatment, even experimental, that could save him? He is my therapy dog and is with me 24/7.
