CREON 10000BPU

Hi Annie, don't beat yourself up about this.... Apple Cider Vinegar is usually very good to give dogs.... but not dogs taking pancreatin enzymes..... i too am guilty of doing the same. Years ago, i tried putting a tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar in my dog's water bowl. Luckily they refused to drink it .... so i stopped. Years later i learned from EnzymeDiane that the enzymes can be killed by vinegar... so never tried that again.

That's what is great about communicating with other EPI'rs.... you learn all kinds of tips and tidbits

Turn for the worst.

Holly was getting better.. I even had a small victory dance for her poop yesterday.

Today I am not sure what to do. She won’t stop vomiting and going to toilet with diarrhea

[AnnieWood]

She is stable again.

Stopped vomiting and pooping liquid.

Maybe you ate something I didn’t see.

Has this ever happened to anyone?

I feel like a horrible dog mum

Hi Annie. You are not a terrible mum. You are doing all that you can to help your pup - unfortunately with EPI, until you get the four cornerstones of enzymes, B12, antibitiocs and food in balance you will have ups and downs. It sounds like the SID is still rearing it's ughly head. It can take some time to get SID under control so don't beat yourself up.

Hi Madelon

Thank you for your reply

Things have gone down hill again. She is currently at the vets on a drip from dehydration and having pain killers.

They have asked us what we want to do. Decide for her to go to doggy heaven or get tests done etc.

This happened to our last dog and he did get better but eventually this disease killed him a year later. It was the most exhausting year of my life. Watching him suffer like that.

She is nearly 12 and we love her so much but she looks so sick right now.

I am a terrible person if we do send her to be with her brother?

Oh Annie, i am so so sorry you and sweet Holly are going thru this.
EPI is mostly manageable and usually not a death sentence, usually our dogs are taken by some other health condition. But, that being said, Holly may be dealing something else too.

Here on the Epi4Dogs Forum we do not advise nor criticize anyone for any decision they make....we do feel that our beloved companions will let us know when it is time, and i also feel that no matter what anyone else says, a person will know, in their heart, what and when is the right time to make this decision. It is just not easy.

Please know that we as a community are sending many thoughts and prayers your way................

Thanks for your support

We have decided to let her go.

Good Morning Annie

there are no words

I had to let my Kara go May 2019 to an illness not connected to EPI

Just love and hugs from across the pond
