-- 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.

-- Terry Mom of two EPI Shiloh Shepherds: Pharaoh born Nov. 2007 (dx December 2009) and his older half sister,Taiko born Sept. 2006 (dx June 2010). Pharaoh was 62.4 lbs. when diagnosed in 12/2009 and 10/31/11 his weight was 76.6 and 82.5 lbs on 1/28/12. Received six weeks of B12 shots Jan-Feb 2010 but his B12 on 8/10/2010 was only 232. Taiko's weight was 70.7 lbs. in June 2010 (time of diagnosis) and on 10/31/11 was 80.4 and on 1/28/12 was 84 (2 lbs. over vet's max weight for her). B12 was 211 in June 2010 and 293 on 8/10/10 (after getting weekly shots). Both pups receive B12 shots weekly at home. Both are fed twice a day Costco grain free brand: 2 cups kibble in the morning with 4 crushed tblets and 2 1/2 cups evening with 4 1/2 crushed tablets; plus each meal also get cooked ground turkey (app 1/4 lb. each meal) or half a can of dog food.

I just realized that the greyhound in one of the other photos is a tripod. Amazing. Linked to the Ray of Hope website and saw that she, Ruby, is their mascot. She was diagnosed with bone cancer in her left rear leg at 9 yrs old. Amputation and chemo followed. Prognosis was for 9 more months; still doing great 4 years later. I voted for her pic too (no worries, she's way behind in the running). | |

Yeah I should have explained.... The whole point of the Ray of Hope Appeal is to buy a scanner for the Royal Dick Pet Hospital in Edinburgh to help scan animals for cancers etc. The Royal Dick is one of our big hospitals over here and do an amazing job. Ruby is the mascot for the appeal because as you quite rightly pointed out she is a tripod. We are supporting the cause because we believe so much in helping other animals and know how heartbreaking it has been for us at times with Gems EPI and Izzys leg. Now we have just found out that Izzy is deaf too! We appreciate how much every day is a gift with a dog with an illness liek EPI or cancers and wanted to show our support. Now our little Iz is in the final and with just 36 hours to go is doign well. It may be the only thing she will ever win (apart from teh hearts of many people!) so we still need lots of votes. Thank you to those of you who have votes already and the rest of you... come on pelase get voting!!! xx | |
