The auto-fill feature tripped me up on the edit summary. Please ignore the strange summary, which was for a previous, unrelated page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WhatamIdoing (talkcontribs) 19:19, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I am trying to add a link to what I believe is a desperately needed support group for people whose dogs have this disease. An an owner of such a dog, I believe that such support is very important. I hope that my link to http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/k9lymphangiectasia/ will remain as a place where owners can discuss their own experiences with this disease.

Thank you,

Tone

[edit]

"All patients with this serious disease should ask their doctors to investigate" reads inappropriately exhortatively for an encyclopaedia entry. 24.147.237.137 (talk) 02:59, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Argon Laser treatment: source?

[edit]

The paragraph at the end of the treatment section referencing a new laser treatment is unsourced, and the only paper I can find on this appears to be discussing lymphangiectasia related to the eye http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9850253?dopt=AbstractPlus . This needs to be sourced and clarified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.79.77.8 (talk) 21:51, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi anyone who is interested....

I a new to the wiki world, so please forgive me for any transgressions...

This page is about Lymphangiectasia, a condition from which my wife suffers (and although at some moments I may want to call her a b*tch, she is, i can assure you, far from canine!).

The point being, how can this article expand to cover the human occurence of this illness, which is, as I understand it very much rarer than the canine form.

There are many referencable papers about the human form - (A Ballinger, Farthing)

The treatment of the condition with octreotide should also be mentioned.

I don't know enough about the subject to provide a decent article, but with a few contributors we could do it.

Any comments would be appreciated.
