EPI dog can't gain weight

[Germohawk]

Sorry I did not mention the enzyme that I use for my dog.

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.

Hi Maggie, glad to hear you will be re-checking for possible diabetes. Even thou it sounds like just a remote possibility, it is better to be safe than sorry..........

what enzymes are you using? (my apologies if you mentioned this already)

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.

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.
