Re-test B-12? Dog lost weight and not gaining back

According to the enzyme Diane website, 1 teaspoon of the 6x equals 3/4th teaspoon of the 8x. In theory that is a 25 percent reduction in enzymes given. You might be able to give 1 teaspoon of the 8x and get rid of the undigested food. Without increasing the amount you have to give. What was thrown up when you first started giving the enzymes?
The yellow poo is probably from the SIDs starting to tear it's ugly head.

Gotcha I will probably order that next then. And it was just like a yellow slime that she would throw up which I assumed were the enzymes. I believe there was one time where it was a few pieces of kibble.
Man, I sure hope it's not but that's good to know. What is the diagnostic test to see if it is SiD?? Also do you think probiotics aggravate it by adding more bacteria? I give her Aller-immune bites for her allergies, which have a number of probiotics in them.

There really isn't a need to test for SIDs (short intestinal dybiosis) it's just an overgrowth of bacteria. All EPI dogs can and will get it. The best we can do it manage it. Slippery elm or Tylosin is the best option. Try slippery elm and if it doesn't work you can talk to your vet about Tylosin.
It does sometimes get worse for no real reason. At that point we start slippery elm or Tylosin again. It's a never ending cycle of hope and pray
