I am sorry for being so neglectful to the wonderful people on this forum. I have had a couple of weeks from hell. First when the internet went down I felt like I was living on the moon, so cut off from everything. I didn't realize how dependant I was on my computer until the net was gone. Work has been extremely busy so never have time to surf the web there. So for an update; Ulric is making steady improvement, he has soft but formed stool and is eating well. I started this tread because I did not want to see "Ulric is not doing well" anymore. Thanks for all the suggestions and concern. Bernadette and Ulric | |

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 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.

Hi everyone I don't know about anyone else but this September has been a blur for me. Most day I don't even get to read the forum much less post However, Ulric is doing a lot better, he had the last dose of this round of antibiotics this morning and is almost finished the prednisone. Poops have been good...so now it's wait and see. Last time is took about 3-4 weeks before he had a set back. I am hoping that this second round of anti's will have done the trick. I will try to stay in better contact Bernadette and Ulric | |

Bernadette - thanks for making the time to poke your head in and update us. Time does have a way of flying!! Glad to hear things are going well and I hope they stay the course. Just checking - you aren't incubating the anti's in the food with the enzymes - right - I made this mistake at first and had Jackie on anti's for 4 mos because I was doing it wrong :-( | |
