Re: New to EPI and need some guidance
Thank you, i have been so worried about his mouth. I think i may be finally getting close to finding his "magic" amount. We have struggled hard with mouth sores so bad that his poops were extremely bloody. I took him off the enzymes for about 3 days and instead gave about 1-2 tsps of pepto...

Re: New to EPI and need some guidance
Can anyone tell me what the difference is between porcine and bovine enzymes? Are bovine enzymes less likely to cause mouth sores?

Re: New to EPI and need some guidance
When i took him to the vets a couple weeks ago he weighed in @ 32 pounds. I do see that he has gained a few pounds, so we will be heading into the vet in a couple more weeks and getting an updated weight on him.

Re: New to EPI and need some guidance
I am using a condiment squeeze bottle i bought at walmart. I am able to get the small nozzle inside a his lips and give a good squeeze and he lets me do this without fight. It has just room temp water. (like kids make it fun and they will co-operate) I am using the wonderlab b12.

Re: New to EPI and need some guidance
Well, we now have mouth sores....I dont just mean a little sore i mean this dog was bleeding from his mouth. I rinsed his mouth with some warm water and it stopped almost immediately. The only thing i can think to do to help him recover even a little is to stop the enzymes for a couple of days and/o...

Re: New to EPI and need some guidance
