Welcome, Mike, to you and Izzy. Pam gave you a very good summary of EPI treatment as you get started. The beginning is the hardest stage because everything is so new, but it will get easier as you get those four cornerstones in balance. It helps to keep a log/journal of everything you give Izzy each...

Hi Jan, A very warm welcome to you and Sugar. You have received excellent advice already. Ask any questions that you have. Try not to feel too overwhelmed. It's a lot of new information to absorb, but it will get easier as you get more familiar with the treatment. With your background, you won't hav...

It is an antibiotic that is oft en prescribed for bacterial issues and some dogs experience serious side effects...

Congratulations, Jess! That was some fine detective work you did. Mav is certainly lucky to have landed with you. You are doing all the right things and it is obviously showing. Maverick is doing amazingly well. It took us much longer to get everything in balance when we were going through this with...

Debra, I am so sorry that you had to say goodbye to Phoebe. You took such loving care of her. It is such a privilege to be able to spend those last days and moments with our dogs.
