-- Olesia, owned by Izzy-45lb SWD, Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.3, Stable almost 6 yrs! Once stable, was able to reduce enzymes to only 1/2 tsp of Enzymes with each meal, but after almost 4 years of stabilization... had to increase the amount of enzymes to 3/4 to 1 teaspoon with each meal. Feed various grain-free kibble+real meat, 6x pancreatin enzymes from EnzymeDiane. I give 1 tsp of coconut oil one day and 1 tsp salmon oil next day, and also give canned sardines packed without salt or canned herring for extra omega oils.

Did that last week, O. Thanks, though, for the reminder. That is wonderful that Diane raised $600 for research. It is good of her to take time to assemble a collage of our photos. | |

Took his picture and sent it. Teddy was NOT happy. He wanted to play ball and I made him stop to put on the bandana and sit still for a picture. He looks pathetic. | |

Julie... YES... Diane does so much for us...I don't know ho she finds the time to do all she does.... and the Bandanas turned out to be a a fabulous fund-raiser~ | |

$600 - GOOD FOR HER!!! :-))))) Well...good for us all!!! :-)) Thanks Diane - I'm sending my pic now! :-) Jackie is in a Valentines Fashion Show in a nursing home on Sat and they asked us to write a bio on the dogs. I got some language in about her EPI and how we are trying to bring awareness to it to fund more research. I never miss a chance to get this in so future and existing dogs can get the best chance possible. | |
