Lesslie,

 

I had difficulty too, until I turned my pop up blocker off.  There is a thread here by Frank called "How to post photos".  I'd look for it, but I'm running out the door right now...Can you search for it?

ahaaa. success, thanks to your suggestion Lesslie. Here are progression photos

Bella at 2mos (bottom photo), Then 4mos (starting to loose weight, top photo) Then 5mos, with diaper due to fecal incontinance. Then with our other babes at which point she shoud be about double her size.   I figured out the photos problem is I can't figure out how to write text inbetween, oh well at least you can see her.

She is just about the cutest critterkid...I'm sorry she had such a rough time while they were trying to figure out what was going on but you know, she'll catch up in weight probably and so wonderfully.  The diaper picture didn't post.  Give your girl loves and scritches for me.  Thank you for the pictures...more are always welcome.

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.

Oh, what a sweet puppy. Thanks for sharing the pics. We have been trying to post pics of Onza. Will go to Franks thread to learn more. Our nurse at work has an English Bulldog (not w/EPI) who is her "baby"... so I'll share your pictures w/her. Take care. Donna W

Onza - 6 years old in July 2011. Beautifull, extremely intelligent and diagnosed with EPI in April 2009 with TLi  0.4 ...  she lost down to 55 lbs before we found Olesia through friends in our Schutzhund Club. So thankful to her and this wonderful website that gave us hope and guidance. "Be extra kind to everyone you encounter, because everyone is fighting a battle of some kind"...  Donna W and William in Raleigh NC
