I'll have to look that one up!
About an hour and a half ago, Montgomery let my roommate know that he was hungry (four o'clock is one of his usual meal times). She gave him his enzymes, poured him a dish of food, and he dove in - thank goodness! Then he climbed into bed with his stuffed sheep, leaned on his hot water bottle and proceeded to give himself a good bath. He's feeling better!
Montgomery was born 21 March 2012. He is a DSH orange tabby and white. Montgomery eats RCFHN Spayed/Neutered Kitten dry food and Royal Canin Ultra Light wet food. He is a catnip junkie who loves paper bags and his stuffed mouse, Ignatz. His Pank-Aid is put into capsules each day as he gets mouth ulcers if it is mixed into his food. He gets two size zero capsules with each meal and eats six times each day. He gets .5ml Ovol twice a day for his gas. He is an enormous 3.08kg and strong enough to give his veterinarian a hard time. He is smart as a whip, has the loudest purr in the universe, and is so, so loved.

Riley is a 10 year old Labradoodle. She was diagnosed with EPI in 2014.
She currently eats Taste of the Wild, I cup in the morning, 2 cups in the evening, each meal with 1 Wonderlabs B12 sprinkled over her dinner. Enzymes are EnzymeDiane, 1 tsp per cup of food, mixed in home made bone broth. No other supplements or meds at this time.
Riley currently weighs about 44 pounds, which is pretty heavy for her.

So glad he's doing better. You are such an amazing mom to Montgomery. Please keep us posted.
Madelon, owned by DOC. DOC dx EPI 5/2015 = TLI < .4, B12 406; Folate >24. DOC taught me so much and together we battled and overcame EPI, food sensitivies, environmental allergies but we lost the cancer battle. DOC was dx with hemangiosarcoma 5/2022 and crossed the rainbow bridge July 24, 2022. He is and always will be the love of my life, my soulmate, my heart dog.

I am wondering if the amount of enzyme needed to be increased by a little.

Mickey and his pancreatitis brought me to Epi4dogs.com site in 2012 to help manage it.
He lived from 6/99 - 8/2014

He had a terrific day on Sunday, and to-day, too. He's eaten all of his meals by himself, has had formed stool, and has created very little laundry. He's upset that we haven't given him his wet food back yet, and tried to steal Kitty Fantastic's lunch (he failed). I don't want to give him back is wet food until he sees the veterinarian to-morrow. Thank you all for all the well-wishes. I'll let you know what happens...
