Advice please

I can empathise with both his conditions, but with two dogs. Marti had epi for eight years, no kidney problems. I’ve not heard of other springers with epi, is yours a show type or worker? I’m hoping they aren’t related!
Bobby , a cocker, non-epi, had a a kidney condition. Has the vet put a name to what is wrong? Have they suggested an appropriate diet, because some kidney diets are heavy on rice and pasta which can clash with epi. What do you normally feed?

Hi was sold as a springer but we think hrs, got some pointer in him. We know now he was, from a puppy farm i keep spreading the word now about these horrid places. No vet said it was a cyst and suggested a specialist but we aren't insured so went with her next advise which was diet. She just said use mature food. Hes now put on 1.4 kilos on in 10 days which im so happy with. Taking him every week to get weighed. Still on antibiotics and vitamin b12 all good so far. Live in Lancashire

Ive just ordered Chemeyes ill try that now. I'd already ordered the other stuff which he's been on now for a few weeks.

Another 2 kilos on hes now back up to his normal weight. Antibiotics nearly finished, i read somewhere on here about weaning off antibiotics rather than just stopping so thats what im doing, down to half tablet twice a day for the last few days. Fingers crossed. His poos are brilliant at the moment. Yeah..... Thanks all for caring Julie
