I did give her 10% fat Turkey yesterday and she did pretty well on it...she still had panting and had to go out at 5:30 am but her stool was formed and just a little soft no mucus.
Thanks!

Hello Patsy,
Thanks for the reply! As for the SP glandulars the bottle doesn't say. I'll have to get back with you on that after I try to do a web search to see if I can find the specific ingredients in the products....bottle only have #'s on them not the typical SP bottles with ingredients etc.
I've read about the benefits/need for Tylan and Vit B12 injections.
Molly is keeping her weight steady, great appetite and has good energy. I wonder if the bleeding was caused by the spiked all be it soft spinal bones in the wild caught canned Salmon I was feeding her the day the bleeding started.
Molly just finished a round of strong antibiotics after getting her teeth cleaned and a couple teeth removed. The new vet I took her to felt because of the recent strong round of antibiotic doses she had and the recent fecal transplant capsules I was giving her that it was unlikely she has a bad bug in her system...her fecal sample didn't show any bad bugs/tested fine.
I've been giving Molly probiotics because of the oral surgery I couldn't leave her gut bio-mater unattended, (just finished 30 days of fecal capsules)slipper elm powder and small amounts of psylium powder which does create a pre-biotic environment, plus it helps to firm up the stool...again giving her small amounts.
I'm going to feed her full fat turkey this week with the enzymes from Enzyme Diane and see if her gut can hold with the 10% fat in the turkey. If not then I will go back to the new vet and have a full EPI blood test protocol done.
All the best,
Ann

Tibetans are beauties. , we had an owner in here from the Netherlands who showed them, till one got epi.
To answer the bloody stool question... it’s usually a bug, but if caught early you may not need antibiotics. My ‘normal’ terrier is an avid bird and badger poo eater,and had bloody stool last week. I kept him on scrambled egg or microwaved white fish, mixed with boiled sweet potato, for three days, and he’s fine now.
I hope you get a diagnosis soon. Do let us know! Has she been losing weight?
Epi B12 treatment requires injection or tablets with Intrinsic Factor added. This is a natural enzyme produced the pancreas in dogs, needed for B12 absorption. Do you know what is in the supplements you have got, because it would be useful to us to know if it actually stated if the glandular content was pancreas containing intrinsic factor.
Most people stick to a simple protocol after diagnosis, then any problems are easily identified and tweaked, just one thing at a time. Using pre and probiotics are often left until the worst problems are addressed. They can actually complicate the digestive process which you are keen to analyse, causing diarrhoea.
Faecal transplants are gaining popularity for gut bacteria, but as you know, can’t compensate for a necrotised pancreas.
Best wishes to you both
Ann here mom of Molly a 5.5yr old Tibetan Terrier. A friend suggested Molly might have EPI. Approx a month ago I did the home test she tested positive. I have a vet appointment this week to do more in depth tests. For approx 30 days I have been giving her Enzyme Diane's 6x enzymes....her daily meal supplement regime is 1/2 tsp enzymes I let them sit approx 20-30 mins in her morning meal of raw meat or eggs and veggies and a calcium/mineral/vitamin supplement. I have been giving her 1/4 tsp slippery elm, probiotics and 1/4-1/2 tsp psylium powder.
