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.

Now serving kibble with Tryplase in morning and raw with Lypex capsules evening and supper...she has her paws round my heart big time. Wouldn't you know it? She LIKES Lypex... but it causes an allergy. She DOESN'T like Tryplase but she is stuck with it! Out with the tempters.... I lost my Razzy with cancer of the spleen 30th June 2011... Rest in peace my love.

Don't laugh too hard, Olesia...I have a very good friend that spins and has in fact made mittens and scarfs with dog fur...She prefers spinning the fur of the Great Pyraneese <sp?> because it's easy to work with, but she has also worked with long coat GSD fur before...I keep offering her Zoey fur, but she prefers to spin with Alpaca hair....:dry: Go figure...

Great news on Pebbles hair regrowth. Loved the book Kathy, although I don't think somehow I'll be able to put together a wardrobe with Bridie's fur, I'd be done for indecent exposure:ohmy: She only has three hairs and a nit herself | |
