I know this is an old thread, but it is the reason I joined you all. My Kona has egg yolk peritonitis and her vet gave us a death sentence. This was after she said there was no infection. She got 2ML of fluid out, but the pieces of yolk protein were too big and kept clogging the needle. I have her on herbs to prevent infection and inflammation. She is doing well and I am hopeful. She still flies around and does tricks. It has been almost a month. It is winter here, so I am waiting for a warmish day to take her in to see if we can get more fluid drained.
