I am new to the forum and hope I can get some ideas to help Orion a 1 yr old GSD. He was diagnosed with EPI around October of 2011. We have not had any testing done yet, but he has all the classic signs and symptoms. He weight 56lbs and is not gaining weight. The Vet prescribed Pancreved tabs 3 at each meal. He couldn't tolerate this dose at first. A lot of diarrhea. He is now up to 3 tabs with each meal and I am including rice. I have been giving him Bromelain of each meal but I'm not sure how much really to give. I want to start giving him B-12 as well. I have been reading a lot of information and noticed everyone uses powder. I have been crushing the tabs and incubating it in his food for 20-25 minutes for the past week. I'm hoping to see some improvement. His stool is firm now as has a good ordor. He seems happy and has more energy but not a lot of stamina or muscle. Any advice is welcomed. Patty M. | |
