Re: My chubby little Maltese & Wonderlabs label

Re: New EPI diagnosis

Three meals is fine. Just split the amount evenly. The eating the stool should stop once everything is leveled out. With the adjusted enzymes the undigested food should lessen and make the stool less appetizing. As for the free feeding, my recommendation is not to leave it down for more than an hour...

Re: New EPI diagnosis

Hi, and let me first tell you that Cali is absolutely adorable! I’m going to agree with Olesia in everything she has advised you of this far. Yes, you’ll be feeding more food to her thru the day, but split into 4 meals would be ideal. I will also ask if the b12 was checked. In the little ones, and e...

Re: Low phosphorus dog food

If you are interested in pre-made raw, you might want to look at Darwin’s. I don’t recall what the phosphorous levels of their regular diets are, but they make a specific kidney diet.
