Beate, Sachi is beautiful
Thank you for donating enzymes in his honor.
God speed Sachi.

Please show this link to your vet. TAMU has updated their assay to less than or equal to 5.5 is indicative of Epi. https://vetmed.tamu.edu/gilab/service/assays/tli/ Good to have started the B12 but looks as though porcine enzymes are also needed. Also a grain free diet with <4% fiber works best. Jill

Oh what a beauty!
Yes a pup can never be replaced but thank you both for opening your hearts to this sweet pup.

That is interesting. Are both strengths on the enzyme bags the same? 6x or 8x? Mickey had pancreatitis and a consultant here sometimes, Dr. Penny, told me "just because you are using enzymes on his food now doesn't mean you can increase his fat content of his diet". More than 10% fat in hi...

Thanks for telling us what is working for you! It is great to share information on here for others to learn from.

I can't comment on the flea and tick medicines. I started using deterrants instead of meds after Kiya had an issue.

It might be the spot on causing runny poop.

The only thing I know to cause increase in SDMA is when the Glomular Filtration Rate is low and concentration of the urine is off. Since you are feeding gently cooked tilapia can you add some cooked or raw chicken kidney to the diet? I have been reading that when an organ is having an issue , feedin...

On the enzyme tablets you will need to crush those and mix into the food and incubate just like the powder. So you won't get by the taste of enzymes using tablets. I would suggest getting a capsule filler and wear laytex gloves. Breathing in powder dust or getting too much on your hands can cause ir...

Yay Pam!
So glad she is home. You will give her a wonderful life
