Re: Lypex dosing and smelly poop

Hello and welcome In the U.K. I found capsules suited my springer spaniel better than powder. She wouldn’t eat powdered enzymes. So I used Lypex, an excellent product except for the misleading instructions. We have had conversations with them about this, to no avail. I used 4 Lypex per day. , whethe...

Re: Newly diagnosed EPI

Welcome to you all. Where do you live? I own a tiny poodle cross too though non-epi. I appreciate how careful you have to be to give them the right amount of food.

Re: Birds get EPI too!

Absolutely!
That has certainly been the case with dogs before knowledge was published. Likewise with humans.
Epi is a condition caused by other well known dysfunctions, not a disease .
I will watch my pet chickens’ poop carefully now!

Re: New to the forum

Hi Marie from UK. Thanks to my daughter who lived in Zakynthos for a few years, our family has four Greek rescue dogs and a cat! Luckily all healthy. I talked to a vet over there about epi and he said they too use Zymoral. I just wanted to throw in a question . In the Uk we must not soak our enzyme ...

Re: Dog passing quite hard stool

Hello from Yorkshire I missed your long post in August thanks to grandchildren chaos. You are certainly in the early throes of epi. I think we all despaired and wept. Once the weight goes on , it will get better as the body regains normality from the inside, then the muscles. Your vet, surprisingly,...

Re: New rescue dog in UK with EPI

Hello from Yorkshire, so cross I’ve been asleep on the site for ages. My dog Marti from a long while ago, was a success story too.

Re: Sad outcome

It’s a dilemma whether to tell them on these situations.
My lady obviously felt something hadn’t been done, but trusted the vet. She said they may talk to the vet practice when they get over losing him, for the sake of other dogs and cats.

Sad outcome

I read on another forum of a dog with maldigestion and weight loss. Scans and blood counts fine. I contacted them , but was a day too late, his quality of life was too bad. The owner was very open about the vets’ care, and had even suggested an enzyme treatment instead of the vets choice of gut supp...

Re: Foul Gas

Re SId/Sibo I’ve not heard of testing for it.the bowel noises and gas is from fermenting food in the gut and needs specific antibiotics . Pre and Probiotics are good , but in these cases are best used after the prescription meds to restore and maintain normal gut health.
