Re: Puppy EPI Diagnosis
Hi Cindy welcome to our EPI family. Your Bay is adorable! As Jill said - if you could post the blood test results it will help us be better able to make suggestions. There are four cornerstones to properly managing EPI: Enzymes: As Pam said, most of us use EnzymeDiane (I recommend starting with the ...

Re: Need Tips for Using Bagged Enzymes
Hi Cindy Welcome to you and Dixie. I'm glad you are seeing results so quickly! While it's okay to treat as if EPI for a short time, we do not recommend treating as if EPI without having the cTLI blood test run because EPI can mimic many other dog conditions which left untreated can be fatal. As for ...

Re: Mouth irritation from enzymes or allergies?
Hi Erin - welcome to our EPI family. You've been given great suggestions already on how to deal with a sore mouth. If it doesn't appear to be an allergy but likely from the enzymes - another trick you can try is grinding the kibble in a blender - I know it's yet another step to take BUT for some of ...

Re: 2 Year old GSD not gaining weight
Hi and welcome to our EPI family! Just a little back story on my GSD, Doc - he was diagnosed at 3 mos old with a HORRIBLE case of coccidia - took two rounds of antibiotics to clear it, and had a bladder infection - then he was tested for EPI due to the diarrhea was diagnosed with SID (small intestin...

Re: Newly Diagnoised
I used to give Doc antlers but when I saw how easily some splintered I stopped giving them - worried that he would ingest shards and it would cut him on the inside - I am a helicopter mom through and through LOL. I am a HUGE advocate of mind games - there is an enrichment group on FB - I can't remem...

Re: Phoebe, Chronic Pancreatitis and Voracious/Starving
Wish I could offer some suggestions but I have on experience with pancreatitis. I do give Doc Omeprazole 30 minutes before every meal which seems to help him. I can say though in testing my theories of B12 and other things with him - I keep the journal noting what I'm giving and the results and then...

Re: Liz's "stinky" Piper
Yep being pregnant does not help the matter as your sense of smell is probably better than the best drug sniffing K-9 LOL. Researchers believe the smell is basically from putrification in the gut of the rotting food - ie SID (small intestinal dysbiosis) which means there is something within the four...

Re: EPI?? maybe yes, maybe no
Hi Tony! Sorry I haven't been back to respond - my son graduated high school Friday so life has been crazy and then back to my full time job on Monday. Anyway, glad you increased the enzymes - the enzymes you are using are the correct kind but you DEFINITELY want to start with 1 level teaspoon per c...
