Re: Treatment plan check, not quite EPI

Louie is fully on his new LDI diet, powdered enzymes and the new B12 came last night. His poops range from firm long to soft serve, with no real pattern as to help us expect what is coining at what time of day. I don't know if it is because of the food or all the supplements but he has no interest i...

Re: Treatment plan check, not quite EPI

Great news! Louie is really firming up, I know we will have some back and forth but actual logs that could be picked up! We added the third tablet Saturday evening and he's been getting 3, 3 times a day, and are looking forward to getting the correct B-12 supplement and powdered enzymes in the mail ...

Re: Treatment plan check, not quite EPI

Today after his lunch Louie has his first non-liquid poo in 5+ weeks, it actually came out in pieces and didn't look like an open faucet; never did I think I'd feel encouragement from a dog turd ;) He has had 2 more this evening that were like soft-serve ice cream this evening, but it was nice to se...

Re: Treatment plan check, not quite EPI

Right now 2 cups, 3x a day, heavy end but he's not maintaining or gaining weight yet.

Once he is fully transitioned it will be 1.5 cups 3x a day (at 150% of what the food chart calls for until he starts to gain)

We have ordered the Wonder Labs B-12, and the PancrePlus Enzymes in powder form, and Proviable probiotics. This evening we did start crushing the tablets, 2 a meal wh...
