Well, it has been a long journey, but Sarge is doing well. Since his diagnosis in early 2021 he has come a long way. And a great deal of this has been with the help, support and valuable information I received from this forum and the wonderful people who have given their time and knowledge. Sarge ha...

I am thinking about switching Sarge from the 8x to the 6x enzymes. I still have some 8x left but was thinking about ordering the 6x before the 8x ran out in case he didn't seem to do as well on the 6x. I would appreciate any input about this (like should I even consider switching him). If anyone has...

Is is okay to give slipery elm at a reduced does everyday? I've been giving Sarge 1/2 tsp. 2 x day as a preventative measure. He seems to be doing fine, but I've seen opinions this is not a good idea. By the way, Sarge is now back to work and looking good.

I have a question about probiotics. I am giving Sarge Proviable capsules once a day as required. I open the capsule and sprinkle it on his food just before feeding. My first question is, does the enzymes have any effect on the probiotic granules like making them less potent. Second, would it be bett...

My vet just called with Sarge's test results. Everything except the TLI was within normal range. His cobalamin is 547, his TLI is 1.0. So now it is confirmed EPI. I am going to start him on Proviable DC tonight. I will try to give him only half the capsule as directed although this may be a little c...

Sarge got his tli, b12 and a couple of other blood tests on Wednesday so I will post the results when I get them. His stool has been formed and brown for a few weeks now, but he is still losing weight. My vet wants me to increase his food (which I have) so now his stools are larger, but I'm hoping t...

I have a question. Sarge has had good poops for about 2 weeks. He will go for his tli and B12 bloodtest 11/15/21. He has still not gained any weight and still extremely hungry. I have heard that adding coconut oil will help his weight gain as well as his itching (his coat is not good). I know if I a...

Yes I am keeping a daily journal as Olesia suggested. It has been extremely helpful in tracking Sarge's progress and I will take it to the next vet appointment so I can let him know what's been transpiring. It has also helped me with my feelings of no progress. When I look back over the past few wee...

Hello everyone. I just wanted to give an update on Sarge. Today he got his last B12 shot and in a month he will get his bloodwork drawn for his B12 and TLI test. I have followed the guidelines Olesia suggested and it seems to be working, with minor ups and downs. I have changed his enzymes to 8X and...

Hi everyone and thanks for your input and encouragement. I feel much better knowing there is a wealth of knowledge from experience to learn from. Just to recap, Sarge came back to me about 5months ago (I puppy raised him until he was 1). The people who had him couldn't keep him and called me to see ...
