Re: Digestive Enzymes required?
It doesn’t sound like epi but that doesn’t mean we can’t help. Has your vet given suggestions for caring for the relapses? Blood in the poop means a bit of inflammation and ulceration. Does the blood appear to be fresh, as from the lower gut? With humans and dogs , it can help to use a mucilage like...

Re: Question about slippery elm brands
Specific advice is on the menu (top right) on the home page. Tons of reading!

Regarding brands , people use Wonderlabs in the US, but in the UK we have various ones, without any issues. Not dog specific. It’s the same as mucilage meds for people, eg Fibogel.

Re: What to do if EPI dog refuses to eat?
Doesn’t he show interest in drops of your food on the floor? My old epi dog at first would not anything with enzymes. I put tiny morsels of fishy smelling food in her mouth,, smuggling hidden enzymes in it. Hours of tears. She drank heavily, wet herself but gradually accepted a Uk brand of coated ta...

Re: What to do if EPI dog refuses to eat?
Aaaah…. Rumbling and room-emptying foul farts are classic Sibo/SID. Antibiotics!! Tylan in the US otherwise Oxytetracycline. In Uk. Metrobactin is not advised because of side effects.

Re: What to do if EPI dog refuses to eat?
So sorry to read of your problems. I know nothing of the concurrent conditions, but are they something to do with the bloat? My dog had developed fluid in the abdomen and chest cavity, in her case it was PLE, protein losing enteropathy, which showed the fluid build up on a scan. If all this is press...

Re: 5 Month Old Puppy with low TLI - questions!
My lab regarded socks and stale underwear as treats. I’ve never heard of vets having a look at the pancreas., even when being under another procedure. Very interesting for the vet but means a bigger incision in the muscle layer for Bonnie. She will be trying to bounce around enough with a small inci...

Re: "possible" commercial Dog food issues
It cant just be a coincidence , can it.? I joined a colitis forum and have noticed there are two directions… the people who depend on vet advice consisting of omeprazole , buscopan etc with Purina food, which causes panic because it is mysteriously in short supply. Then the others who go simple, lik...

Pigs pancreas in UK
In case any Uk owners haven’t come across it, you can buy frozen pancreas chunks from Durham Animal Feeds, a raw food company with a wide range of sensible products. It’s £5.99 for 2kg, or there is a larger pack. I presume you can buy direct if it’s correctly insulated. However, I buy their frozen m...

Re: "possible" commercial Dog food issues
My terrier developed colitis last year . He used to be able to eat anything. He recovers after slippery elm and chicken and rice. Going onto so-called sensitive canned foods would last about six weeks on each before blood in his poo. For the last two months I’ve home cooked his food and he is slimme...
