Enzymes

Post by Josette » 29 Jul 2019, 17:20

Hi, I have been a member for around 8 years now. I just re registered today. My little girl Cadbury crossed the rainbow bridge just a few days ago. My heart is broken & I am so lost without her. Simply put....I do not know how to live without her.
Cadbury was a beautiful Springer Spaniel. She lived to 15 1/2 years. My point for writing this is because I have leftover enzymes. I got them from EnzymesDiane 6x 1 kilo. There is probably close to 3/4 of a bag left. I live in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. I am hoping that there is someone with an EPI dog in the area. I am willing to ship in Canada if you pay for the shipping. I would hate to see them go to waste. Please let me know if you are nearby. I have posted this on the fb site as well. Thank you for this wonderful forum & the knowledge you have. So saved my girl once when she was 8 years old. I will never forget that.

Hi. I am so sorry for your loss. It’s so kind of you to think of others while you are grieving. If you’re in Canada you can reach out to Doug House doug@medtechchems.ca. Again I’m so sorry for your loss.
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.

Ahhhhh.... i DO remember Cadbury! So many years ago.....

It is so so SOOOoooo hard to say goodbye..... these companions ARE part of our family and such an integral part of our lives. My heart is breaking for you. May all the joyful memories of your lifewith Cadbury, someday soon ease the emptiness in your heart right now...........................

THank you for wanting to pay it forward, honoring Cadbury's memory! I too think the best distribution of the enzymes in Canada, would be to someone else in Canada, and Doug House's FB would be the best place to post about it.

I'm so sorry you lost your girl.
Tucker was a shepherd/lab mix--- TLI 1.3, Folate 9.7, Cobalamin 666, Lipase 38. Took Diane's Enzymes 4 teaspoons/day, Wonderlabs B12 one capsule per day, and Tylan 1/16 teaspoon/ morning (to hold SID at bay). Taste of the Wild High Prairie, 1 1/2 cups/day, with a total of 4 cups of Fresh Pet. Stopped eating everything in sight, and went from 60 to 85 pounds! Tucker was my boyfriend, and my husband was OK with that. Tucker succumbed to hemangiosarcoma, but we cherished every day we had with that wonderful, beautiful boy. I will always, always miss my sweet big boy.

I feel your broken heart. I had to lay my precious Thunder boy down to rest July 25th. He was 15 years old and had dementia and was almost blind. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I miss him so much and still cry for him daily. I had him since he was just a puppy. I know it seems hard to go on with out our beloved fur babies. They truly are our family members. I still have my Shelby girl with me who just turned 9 Aug 1st. She helps a little with my grieving. It is so kind of you to think of another to benefit from your loss. Hugs to you.

Sheila
I am Sheila and I am Shelby's mommy.
She is not EPI positive according to Dr. Barko from his TLI testing. But she does have a pancreas problem .
She is on 6x enzyme 1.5 tsp on each meal. She eats Forza 10 Sensitive Skin formula and gets 1.5 cups 2 x per day. She currently weighs just under 100 lbs. She takes B-12 (2)pills every other weekend. She suffers from yeast that I cannot get rid of. She gets 4 pills of antihistamine each day 2 with each meal.

Shelby left my world on November 19-2019 She will be forever missed and loved.
