Plain-English summary
A dog was diagnosed with a condition called monoclonal gammopathy, which was linked to a type of intestinal inflammation known as plasmacytic gastroenterocolitis. The dog was treated with immunosuppressive medications and changes to its diet, which helped resolve the gammopathy. However, 15 months later, the dog experienced a relapse of its intestinal issues and the gammopathy returned. After receiving treatment again, the dog's condition improved, and the gammopathy resolved once more.
