I'm posting this link to a CNN article regarding bird flu contamination in raw pet food.
This is for FYI as I know many folks feed raw diets to their fur babies.
Maybe all of ya'll are aware of this but I was not so thought the information might be useful to others.

Bird Flu & Raw Pet Food
Bird Flu & Raw Pet Food
Dot is our day blind 4 1/3 year old half Idaho Shag half Australian Cattle Dog. She was diagnosed with EPI in late January 2024. After much help and guidance from Olesia and EPI4Dogs things continue to improve. We are forever grateful!

Re: Bird Flu & Raw Pet Food
thanks for sharing this with us Gwen !
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: Bird Flu & Raw Pet Food
Thanks for the info. I will have to look into this more! I feed the dog and kat raw food.
Chance was my 4 legged soul mate. My mobility assist service dog. Pure yellow Lab, 75 lbs. After struggling with weight all his life, finally dx with EPI. cTLI < 1, folate and B12 very low. Fed Raw. Maintained with Creon, Garden of Life probiotic and intermittent calcium bentonite clay. (Tylosin was a big nightmare for him)!
Rylee is Chance's successor; also pure Yellow/Fox red Lab. Started with symptoms at 8 weeks. At 6 months of age, also prescribed Creon due to suspected EPI (due to passing large amounts of undigested food). Currently suspected of blockages in pancreatic ducts. She is maintained VERY nicely on Creon and probiotics. Also raw fed.
