Thanks to you all for your advice, I will definitely taper him slowly and see how things go. He seems to be doing quite well with the current regiment so Im in no hurry to change anything. Thanks again for your responses-much appreciated!

Hello everyone-just a quick update on Gunther, he appears to be responding well to the Tylan/B12 regiment as he has gained at least 6lbs since we started in the beginning of June. He just had his stitches removed this morning after being neutered last week and has been doing great with no stomach is...

Hi Jean, thanks for your thoughts and Im very sorry to hear about Kara and the DM. Maxx passed from it in July of 2019 and it really is horrible to see it progress. Dark days............ I have been feeding Gunther 50% over spread thru 4 meals a day. He is currently on Hills Biome dry and canned foo...

Thanks Pam! Im going to pick his meds up tomorrow and agree with you on the gut. I do like and respect the Vet however they have gotten SO busy since the pandemic it sometimes seems like they dont have the time to be as thorough as they once were. Thanks for all the links Pam, will order the B12 ton...

Hello everybody and thanks for your input Pam-I actually spoke to the lead Vet today regarding Gunny and his inability to gain weight. She doesnt think giving him enzymes is a good idea without him actually being diagnosed with EPI. She was however onboard with trying Tylan for 45 days and giving hi...

Thanks Barb-sorry to hear about Kolby and you other pups, I lost Maxx to DM and its such a tough thing to see them slowly deteriorate. Thanks for your encouragement. Thanks for your input Madelon-Im waiting for the Vet to contact me today and am going to ask her about the enzymes and the tylan. Will...

Hi Barb-thanks for your reply and input, its interesting you bring up the sedative as I truly think Im going to need to go that route as he nearly slipped his out of his harness in a parking lot 20 yards from a very busy road! He is my 4th GSD and I cannot get over his activity level as he is SO hig...

Thank you both so much for your input! Im not 100% sure on the Giardia being resistant to Metro but seem to recall reading an article which indicated that was the case. After looking at Gunnys record he was on Metro 5x since the beginning of 2020. I sometimes feel like my Vets just prescribe it and ...

Wow thank you so much for your insight, you have given me a lot to try and consider which I will jump on as soon as I get his fecal test results back from yesterday. He actually hasnt been on Metro since late March as I have tried to avoid him taking it as much as I can as I had read about the issue...

Hello everybody. Im having issues with my male GSD who turns 2 next month. After losing my 13 year old to DM I was positively devastated and started looking for a puppy, he came from a good breeder as I met his parents and they had been tested for hip issues and DM and the parents were wonderful dog...
