Re: calling all pedigree GSDs with EPI.....

I completed the survey and Kodi had her blood drawn on Monday and it was sent by FedEx the same day.. So glad we could participate, hopefully this Clemson study will help understand EPI better !

Re: calling all pedigree GSDs with EPI.....

Sounds exciting! I'll have to see if I can find Kodis info. We didn't register her as we had her spade. But her parents were. We'll see if she will be accepted. Thanks

Re: New EPI diagnosis

My girl was diagnosed at 11 months,she is now 11 years old and doing well. Yes, you can add a small amount of extras as long as they have enzymes. Most dogs don't need perscription foods unless they have other issues. Some are successful feeding raw but i have no experience with it. But you have to ...

Re: New EPI diagnosis

Hi and welcome ! All questions are encouraged. Some I can answer, but I'm sure others can help in more detail. If they refuse to eat enzymed food in a bowl, try a flat glass plate or pie plate. You can also try toppers, such as parm cheese, a squirt of whipping cream, bits of meat, tuna juice. We ha...

Re: New member. 11 month old GSD with EPI

Re: Treats and Medications

Hi and welcome. In regards to insurance, my insurance Trupanion does pay for my enzymes from Diane. However I know that I had to have the insurance before being diagnosed, and it depended on the type of insurance you have. Its almost as complicated as human insurance.
