hi Angie, If Cooper continues to do fine without probiotics.... there is no need to add any. BUT... if you start noticing issues beginning... then yes, implement another probiotic. I wouldn't use Proviable again, since it obviously wasn't working. Remember though, if you ever do start another probio...

hi Andreea, Thank you for writing in about Pluto and thank you for adopting him. If his TLI was greater than 50, your vet is correct and he does not hav EPI.... but very likely does have Chronic Pancreatitis as your vet suggested. What you are describing could very well be SID (small intestinal dysb...

translation: Hello! I adopted a dog with malnutrition and frequent diarrhea. Very picky about food, often refuses to eat, vomits, 14 stools a day. After changing several veterinarians, he was diagnosed (after 2 years of searching) with chronic pancreatitis. When he had the worst episode, he vomited...

WAHOO!!!!!!!! Great news!

And that is also great that now you'll be able to get back to walking with him too

FYI.....i just translated Andrea's post into ENGLISH (from Romanian)... so sorry... i initially thought it was in Spanish......... let's see if we can help her.

UGH... the poop eating habit :( If nothing works and you are desperate... what you can do is put a friendly muzzle on Cooper when you let him outside and take it off when he comes back inside the house. i am not suggesting to get a muzzle that will make Cooper look like a canine Hannibal Lecter .......

I agree with everyone, try SLippery Elm powder prior to asking the vet for Tylan, even though that just might be what you have to do. All EPI ...

Oh Lauren, i am so so sorry to be reading this. Your love for Daisy came thru in all your caring posts.... letting go of our beloved companions is so very hard to do, but it is the final and biggest gift of love you can bestow on them to not let them suffer even more, if there is no hope for recover...

UGH.... there is a HUGE difference between Tylan and Metro. Your vet should know this. Metronidazole is in a class of medications called nitroimidazole antimicrobials. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Tylosin is a bacteriostatic macrolide antibiotic. Tylosin prevents bacteria from growin...

i am so sorry to hear that Daisy is back to not wanting to eat. Although the following article is from 2014.... it has some valuable info regarding treating Pancreatitis (and the vomiting issue) by Dr. Joerg Steiner over at TAMU. https://www.vin.com/apputil/content/defaultadv1.aspx?pId=12886&id=...
