With Creon, I give the pills, then feed the dog as you would a normal dog. No mixing and no incubation. You can also try opening capsules and dump pellets on the food, and feed immediately. Either option works equally well for me.
Dosing is trial and error unfortunately. Start low, and build up as needed to control symptoms.
My dog is on about Creon 35,000 per meal. But I feed a raw food that is fairly high in fat. A normal fat food might take a slightly lower dose. Every dog is different.
Need help for my 2 year old GSD
Re: Need help for my 2 year old GSD
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.
