Olesia, owned by Izzy-45lb SWD, Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.3, Stable almost 7 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 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.

I tried to get onto the section to create a new account so I can document the steps to put a photo in your profile and have had no luck.  Of course I haven't put a lot of time in it either.  Maybe, I'll have more time on Friday.  Hey Olesia, I'm going to need to set up another fake account to do it, do you have any problems with that?

Hi Wanda,


I guess the instructions worked.  I sent a copy of the PDF file to Olesia, so hopefully she will upload it to the file section.  If anyone has requests for a tutorial on how to do something within the EPI4dogs site, send me a request and I'll get it as time permits.
