Re: New Page on "possible" Cost Savings with enzymes

Oooh...I didn't realize there was a recommended dose for canned food. That might help!! Thanks! can try that maybe. But then raw meat probably has a higher fat content, which could complicate things. We've had another setback today here. Poops are bad again. But Sometime between Thursday night and F...

Re: TLI changes?

I know for Chance, Tylosin was the stuff of nightmares! He did not get along with it at all. For a few weeks, I kept going, assuming it was the SID out of control. In the meantime, I slept downstairs on an air mattress near the back door so we'd have a hope of making it outside on time - every hour!...

Re: TLI changes?

No blood test will tell you if enzymes are working or not. Only you can determine that by looking at poops and how it improves after starting treatment. That and if the dog gains weight (assuming of course that weight loss was an issue). Testing cTLI is a waste of money (although I also had a vet wa...

Re: New Page on "possible" Cost Savings with enzymes

Oh right. I forgot that Nina was always on a very high enzyme dose. I know Olesia's formula equating 1 tsp of enzymes. That helps some; but it's harder since I don't know how to equate cups of kibble to lbs of raw meat. And Rylee has never had powdered enzymes; so I have no idea how much she would n...

Re: New Page on "possible" Cost Savings with enzymes

Oh yay for perfect poops!! Very good!! Glad you persevered! Can I ask what dose of enzymes you ended off with vs your normal dose? I still need to sit down and crunch numbers to compare her Creon dose. I'm about ready to order the capsules from Amazon today; just for fun. Just want to try to reach s...

Re: New Page on "possible" Cost Savings with enzymes

From webmd: "Diarrhea, constipation, headache, abdominal pain/cramps/bloating, gas, cough, nausea, or vomiting may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly". It's possible I erroneously considered regular nausea/vomiting as acid reflux in hi...

Re: When to test...please help advise

Not sure if the ball thrower would work for her. She's not a very independent dog :lol: She always has to be playing with people or dogs! Vet appointment today. We talked for a long time. I told her I wasn't completely sold on the IBD theory. Symptoms just don't match. Square peg, round hole! She sa...

Re: New Page on "possible" Cost Savings with enzymes

In theory, you don't have to worry about too much enzymes causing acid reflux. That is mostly caused by the stomach acid. Since the enzymes pretty much bypass the stomach, there should be no reactivity there. That; I am not so sure about. Chance (we know had EPI and no other GI issues). He was on C...
