Currently I use Pantenex that I bought from Amazon. I give her 3 meals per day, for each meals, it contains 1 1/2 cup blue dog food and some chicken breast and squash/carrot, so almost 4 cups dog food and half pound chicken breast. Am I feeding her too little or too much? She seems still not getting weight. Good news is that no belly rumbling any more. her stool is little soft in the past 2 days.

Re: EPI dog can't gain weight
Sorry I did not mention the enzyme that I use for my dog.

Re: EPI dog can't gain weight
how much enzymes are you giving with each meal??? Pantenenx is on the list as one of the correct enzymes for EPI.
And no.... that does not sound like too much food... her metabolism may be high in addition to the EPI condition where a lot of EPI dogs simply require more food than what is suggested in order for them to maintain their weight.
If you can answer how much enzymes you are giving, that would be very helpful.

Olesia, was owned by Izzy, a 35lb Spanish Water Dog (SWD), Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.. Izzy passed away on February 13, 2020 at 15 years old. She lived with EPI for 13+1/2 years. It was because of Izzy that Epi4Dogs was started... she was the inspiration. May her legacy of helping others with EPI continue for as long as needed.........
Re: EPI dog can't gain weight
Thank you so much for answering my questions. I am just worried that she is always suffering from hungry. I add 1 1/4 tsp enzymes for each of her meal.
