It cant just be a coincidence , can it.? I joined a colitis forum and have noticed there are two directions… the people who depend on vet advice consisting of omeprazole , buscopan etc with Purina food, which causes panic because it is mysteriously in short supply. Then the others who go simple, lik...

In case any Uk owners haven’t come across it, you can buy frozen pancreas chunks from Durham Animal Feeds, a raw food company with a wide range of sensible products. It’s £5.99 for 2kg, or there is a larger pack. I presume you can buy direct if it’s correctly insulated. However, I buy their frozen m...

My terrier developed colitis last year . He used to be able to eat anything. He recovers after slippery elm and chicken and rice. Going onto so-called sensitive canned foods would last about six weeks on each before blood in his poo. For the last two months I’ve home cooked his food and he is slimme...

I bought a collar tag for Marti that said Do not Feed Me . I have Epi, call vet. The only times she sneaked away was to eat the neighbours outdoor cat food Then she got the runs! I’d have never thought of protein powder for dogs. The only issue to me would be the ingredients which vary wildly; milk ...

Baked sweet potato has higher calories than plain spuds, and are easier to digest. Are you feeding extra meals+ enzymes. To gain weight, three meals a day would be a minimum. 50% extra food a day,, as you probably know. Otherwise there may be an expert here who can advise on a different enzyme regim...

When my dog had low B12, she was lethargic, depressed, and mentally confused (brain fog), unable to u...

Hello from Yorkshire,I had an epi dog for years and now one of my present dogs has a sensitive digestion , prone to colitis bleeding . After trial and error with commercial foods, I now use raw/home cook for both of them . His guts are perfect again. There are plenty guides online with the proportio...

I hope your appointment with Julian went ok. He seems to be caring and open minded . As an agricultural vet he will be familiar with the antibiotic Tylan and might allow you to sign a disclaimer to use it. Give this website to swot up on . Many many vets have no experience of it. Another thought re ...

Hi from Yorkshire You’ve had some good advice . I’ve looked at comments on Pro-enzorb and they suggest that it can be used at one capsule to 100gm of food. So a lot needed for a GSD. So you could double your dose, no problems. It is like Lypex in that they are cautious with doseage instructions . Ma...
