Re: Slippery elm

Thanks again for the suggestions. Will try the crushed tabs as soon as they arrive. Maybe they will work better if they don’t smell as much as the powder. I’ve tried all kinds of toppers but she’s so picky🙄. I cook for her as she won’t eat any kind of dog food, dry or canned☹️. Lord knows it’s a bat...

Re: Slippery elm

Hi all, thanks so much for all the answers. I’m giving the enzymes as suggested and I got the B12 capsules with the intrinsic factor. Also she seems better with Metronidazole than Tylan so we’re on that. The main problem is she hates the food with the enzymes on it so I got the capsule maker. That m...

Re: New problem/UTI

Thanks Jill. She is on a probiotic so we’ll just keep limping along as we are for now and hopefully she’ll get more stable soon. Feels like one step forward and two steps back. Very frustrating but you guys are so helpful. Thank you again.

New problem/UTI

Hey everyone, I have a question. Tinkerbell has developed a UTI and Vet gave her an antibiotic injection called Convenia. It lasts 2 weeks and avoids having to give it orally. I’m wondering if it’s going to make her SID worse. She’s still on the Tylan, B12, probiotic and he also gave her Entyce whic...

Re: Creon vs powdered enzymes

Oh thank you guys for the replys. I was feeling like a really bad mom for giving people food with the enzymes. Last night she had beef pot pie, with enzymes but no peas) and ate every bite. So I will cook for her and not worry too much about the Rx diet. Keep it low fiber best I can and see if I can...

Re: Foodfurlife powdered additive

Has anyone used Foodfurlife additive? It’s a powder you mix with raw or cooked meat. It supposedly has many good nutrients and all you add is the meat. I’m having so much trouble getting Tinkerbell to eat. She’s so picky and doesn’t like any canned food. I was cooking for her prior to EPI. She loves...
