Plain-English summary
A study found that chlorambucil, a medication, might help dogs with chronic digestive issues that lead to protein loss in their intestines, known as protein-losing enteropathies (PLEs). This could be beneficial for dogs suffering from ongoing gastrointestinal problems. While the study suggests its effectiveness, pet owners should consult their veterinarian to see if this treatment is appropriate for their dog's specific condition.
