Plain-English summary
A 3-year-old female Doberman pinscher was diagnosed with a rare eye condition called ligneous conjunctivitis, which was linked to kidney problems that caused her to lose protein in her urine. Fortunately, her condition improved despite not having the usual underlying issue that often causes this type of kidney disease. With appropriate treatment, the dog showed a positive outcome and her health was restored.
