Re: 2 yr old GSD with EPI

I’ve been giving 2 cups of food 3x a day with 2 tsp enzymes. His first meal includes B12. So far the diarrhea has stopped. I was pleased with the first couple of stools. They were normal in texture, still yellow. Then yesterday it was a bit loose. I have attached his test results.

Re: 2 yr old GSD with EPI

Do you think the amount of food (6 cups) per day is a good amount? If so, is twice a day okay, or should we break it up to 3 times so it might be easier to digest?

Re: 2 yr old GSD with EPI

Thank you so much for the quick response! Unfortunately, I don’t have the test results. Our vet called and spoke to my husband over the phone. I did go back and look at the records I had.
