Glad Lyra is doing better!

I found the type of food to be the last key factor in getting Milo super stable with long-term good poops.

I feed him TOTW Pacific Stream, I found just 1% less fiber made all the difference. Of course he did just have a small flare up but a bit of Tylan got things back on track within a couple of days.

Once you find an agreeable food things get easier! Milos had the most stable poops once finding the best food for him. Good luck Lyra! Bad poops and losing weight can definitely be stressful!
Milo is a 3.5yr old Standard Poodle. Diagnosed with EPI on 9/01/2017 at 1.5 yrs old. TLI <1
Food: TOTW Pacific Stream. 1 tsp of 6x Enzyme Diane per cup of food. Cooked ground beef, and sometimes a bit of sardines added to food as a small topper. One B12 pill with intrinsic factor added to food daily. One pump of salmon oil twice daily with each meal. 1/2 tsp of Slippery Elm morning and night with each meal. 10mg of Pepcid or Omeprazole once a day for acid reflux. Milo eats about 3+ cups of food per day with added toppings (free feeding). Current weight 41lbs, lowest weight was ~32lbs, and his weight before EPI signs was 38lbs. Very stable weight now. Go Milo! <3
