Re: Atypical case? Possible EPI but Vet not sure
I’ll definitely ask when I’m at the Vet tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: Atypical case? Possible EPI but Vet not sure
Cobalamin level was at 797 when tested, which according to my report is the high end of normal. I'll ask about coritsol and atypical Cushings. Pretty sure we haven't tested for that. And I definitely agree on the behavior therapy. It's strange in that it's not so much putting on the leash, or anythi...

Re: Atypical case? Possible EPI but Vet not sure
Ok, so I wanted to post an update since you all have been so helpful. As a reminder, part of our history with Franklin's stools was unknown because we were observing loose stool on walks, which was very consistently loose and at times very watery. Although we hadn't been noticing his stools as much ...

Re: Atypical case? Possible EPI but Vet not sure
Apologies. One thing I forgot to mention is that we were also advised to add a packet of Fortiflora powder for additional probiotic support. Will this interfere with enzymes?

Re: Atypical case? Possible EPI but Vet not sure
Also, not sure if this matters in terms of testing food alternatives. Royal Canin high fiber is 12.5% max fiber whereas the Hills Biome is 9%. But his regular food before all this was just ~4.5%. So the Hills food is already kind of high fiber, just not as much as the Royal Canin.

Re: Atypical case? Possible EPI but Vet not sure
Thank you for the quick reply. I looked back through the blood work but don’t think we’ve ever checked cortisol levels. My neighbors dog across the street has Addisons, randomly. Franklin did just have a small patch of hair grow back easily, but that’s my full knowledge of Addisons (and probably doe...

Atypical case? Possible EPI but Vet not sure
Full story: We adopted Franklin from a rescue at 8 weeks, the mother gave birth in the rescue to the litter. According to his DNA test his 3 leading breeds are lab, rottweiler, and GSD (with small amounts of boxer, Belgian Malinois and Great Pyrenees). He has always been thin, but the couple vets he...
