Hi Olesia, Rowan has continuously been gaining weight. He was up to 12.44 lbs as of yesterday. I've been feeling like we don't have long until we reach a target weight of 12.5-13.0 lb when I will need to figure out lowering calories/reducing enzymes so he maintains weight vs gains. However, I notice...

Hi Andrea, Thank you for sharing your experience. Though dogs and cats are different, hearing about Chance's experience with Creon is helpful as I try to figure out dosing on my end. Happy to hear you feel Creon is more effective than powdered enzymes. I don't want to increase Rowan's dosage unneces...

Nope, only pate cat food

Jill - Thanks so much. Before his poop became more of a dark-medium dark brown it was kind of ash brown/dark beige. What do you mean by undigested food?

Olesia, Thank you for the positive feedback. I am truly trying to stay on top of things, logging it all, to try to avoid backsliding. Point taken about gaining a little more weight. That makes sense. My guess is as long as he's eating so much food, he will need to poop 2X a day so that factor might ...

Hi Olesia, Just wanted to get your take on whether I should be holding steady or upping the Creon dose. After doing 3K/meal for 8 days, this will be day 5 on the 4.5K. Rowan has crossed the 12 lb threshold, which is amazing. I'd like him to get back to to 12.5-13 lbs. As you know, he's eating a lot....

Jean - Yes, I saw the phone number. Thank you so much. I'm trying to stay the course first with Creon, since it's so easy to get. Do you feel that there may be better outcomes with Lypex? Olesia - After dropping the calories the day before yesterday and seeing he stopped gaining weight, I quickly pi...

Hi Olesia, Just circling back with an update. Rowan's stool frequency did stabilize back to 2 times per day. So on 3/30, day 7 of Creon (transitioned to Creon 3/24; started powder 3/16), since he was continuing to gain weight, I decided I should start to gradually cut down his calories, because for ...

Thank you! Do you think that I'd be better off switching to Lypex if obtainable? Asking because started on the Creon path - not regulated but yet so far so good. Think Lypex would be an easier path?

Thank you for the information about the research and there starting dose. Which country is this research from? I'd be very interested to review the literature. Please share any links you may have. In the US, the smallest sized capsule is 3000 lipase units which is where I started and still am.
