If he were mine I would be heading off for another opinion... blood tests etc to determine the cause of this recurring problem. Hope he's well again soon...

It may be wise to wait and see what the vet says ... there is lots of info floating around on the net about protein levels ...,and I'm sure someone on here will be along to help you

That's very good news !!

Poor Axle .

I remember training pet therapy dogs (prior to their placements) in a locked ward for people with pretty advanced dementia ... most of them loved the dogs, and used to really perk up during our visits For some, it was a 'portal' and they would slip back to when this dog in front of them was their childhood dog ..and they would again share stories with their dog for the time they had contact ... Sometimes dogs placed permanently in nursing homes would really work magic for some residents ..it was lovely to see them come out of their shell, and ,with the cues of soft fur , or a wet nose,( presented to them by us taking their hands and exposing them to the dog ) suddenly 'wake up' and recognise a DOG ... then the smile , and increasing confidence as old hands remembered how to stroke, and voices not used much remembered to say 'Sit', and "good dog"... I did enjoy my job

:) yay , Bruno!!

Heat is heat ... no matter what the source, and often the poor bitch has to suffer in boxes which would be comfortable for puppies without benefit of their mum's body heat ..but for an adult dog of normal temperature can be uncomfortable and make for restlessness, panting and not being keen on staying with the pups...
