Update on McGee; the little dachshund
Posted: 19 Mar 2019, 19:32
McGee is gaining nicely & his poo has been consistently normal. He had lost several pounds before we found out about EPI. He was about 12 pounds (down from 17) when we began giving him an ounce of lamb pancreas with each meal. We increased meals from 3 to 4 times per day. He is now 15.5 to 15 pounds (fluctuates 8 ounces day to day). But he is consistently at 15 now. We continue with Slippery Elm in a tablespoon of kefir and Wonderlabs B12 daily. He gets squash twice a day and no treats. He definitely smells like 'pancreas' and we suspect we do, too!
His brother(litter mate) has shown signs of dislike toward McGee in the past month. He treats him quite differently and with more aggression. Has anyone else experienced this change in behavior in the 'pack' toward the EPI dog? Could it be a smell identity issue?
We are a bit worried about this change.
And..thank you for being here. Without EPI4Dogs, EnzymeDiane and the Whole Dog Journal article, our dog would have died of malnutrition.
