Thanks for the link, I'm going to check that out.
Sorry to hear that, NoPower. That's no good. I would love it if this turned out to be a simple food allergy. You'd see me jumping for joy. As of right now, however, I have no evidence to lead me to believe this is the cause.
A couple things I'd like to toss out there that I hadn't considered last night.
The weight she's lost has been over the course of about a year. Only in the recent two months has she lost any significant weight in a short period, about 5 or 6 pounds.
Two months ago, I had her there at the vet for a checkup. This was mandatory so I could get her more flea and tick prevention pills. This was when we found out about the enzyme. Both a blood and urine sample were taken. He pointed out that on her lower back, she had two fat nodules/deposits there. He told me this was a good thing, and a sign of a healthy dog. So, whatever has happened is very recent.
I called the vet's office and her doctor will be in tomorrow. I'll call back and get some advice.
