The blood in her stool was fresh and bright red, the vet came to the conclusion the extended period of antibiotics wouldn't have helped her gut. Unfortunately, after seeming well for a week or so Rosie went down hill again very quickly. She is currently being kept by a specialist veterinary hospital...

Yeah I do, I get the b12 and high strength enzymes from Chemeyes.

It's been a rollercoaster the last few weeks, she was doing great previously and had been stable for 18 months. It's just reminded me of how stressful it was in the beginning trying to get an EPI diagnosis. She gets b12 with instrinsic factor every day as well as prebiotic. Thanks for the heads up o...

Hi Jean,

SIBO was my gut instinct but as she's never had it to date I was unsure.
Also not sure about getting tylan in Ireland, I've never needed it to date but I am with the vet today so I'll be sure to ask about getting it.

Hi all, Thanks for all the replies, it was a hectic two weeks! We had a lot of ups and downs with Rosie. It was concluded that Rosie had bacterial meningitis and started to pull through over the course of the last two weeks, every day we had seen improvement until about 6 days ago when her stool sta...

She has been showing symptoms such being lethargic, glassy eyes, slow cognitive function, slow motor functions (unsteady on feed, swaying when standing, slow walking, difficulty lifting legs), high t...

Olesia & Patsy, that's great to know and some very helpful information! Yes Rosie started on the full 1g sachet of fortiflora 6 weeks ago. It doesn't seem to cause any issues with her at present. We are quite lucky with the vet we have she has a great understanding of alternative treatments for ...

Hi, thanks so much for the replies, apologies for not including all the other important information it's overwhelming the amount of things to consider when trying to treat epi. Rosie is currently fed 200g kibble (Burns) + 100g lean poultry (chicken/turkey) + 50g of raw sheep pancreas (as suggested b...

Hi all, My 4 year old GSD Rosie has recently been diagnosed with EPI. I have found this to be the most stressful and confusing few weeks while we try and understand what our girl needs before she becomes any sicker :( Previously when Rosie was 1 year old she was diagnosed with Thrombocytopenia (low ...
