Thank you so much for taking the time to send me this information. It will be valuable to myself and my dog in the next few weeks.

Re: Allergies to enzymes

Omg that’s so reassuring! I stepped it up to three feedings a day. Two cups per and two 10000 capsules ten minutes before serving. I am using slippery elm so praying to god it works. I am looking into getting tylosin powder but we are doing bloods to make sure

Re: Allergies to enzymes

Hi, I feed 5 cups a day. Twice two and once one. She’s a small GSD with her ideal weight being around 57/60pds.
The Creon I use is called Cotazym. Feeding instructions is take complete capsule before eating. That’s about all it says.

Re: Allergies to enzymes

Thank you all for the advise and I will do my best to get her stable. Now I have a little more understanding. I was worried to death about getting her stable.

Re: Allergies to enzymes

Hello, yes I have been reading and reading Patsy’s link. I will start by increasing the time between giving the medication and feeding her. Today her poo was semi formed but still grainy looking puddle colour. Also, I have tried and tried to get raw pancreas! It’s either ridiculously overpriced , 17...

Re: Allergies to enzymes

My son can feed her but he is also coughing so am afraid it’s a genetic allergie. He’s only 14 so not taking any chances. I tried the chemical mask and gloves. Outside, and feeding outside. If she as much as licks me I wheeze. I am thinking if I get this Creon thing right we will be fine.

Re: Still dont know and scared.

There are blood test to confirm all this but yes it very well could be EPI or something related to her pancreas. Two weeks is a long time for a growing puppy. Sounds like blood works your next step.
