I am so touched by the support this group has given me in just two days, and reading others' stories and responses is so heartwarming. I am a lowly preschool teacher, but I am donating what I can, and will do more when school starts. Thank you so much.
Tucker was a shepherd/lab mix--- TLI 1.3, Folate 9.7, Cobalamin 666, Lipase 38. Took Diane's Enzymes 4 teaspoons/day, Wonderlabs B12 one capsule per day, and Tylan 1/16 teaspoon/ morning (to hold SID at bay). Taste of the Wild High Prairie, 1 1/2 cups/day, with a total of 4 cups of Fresh Pet. Stopped eating everything in sight, and went from 60 to 85 pounds! Tucker was my boyfriend, and my husband was OK with that. Tucker succumbed to hemangiosarcoma, but we cherished every day we had with that wonderful, beautiful boy. I will always, always miss my sweet big boy.

Hi. I was reading your profile and it said your dog is confirmed EPI but you have not had a Tli test done yet? What is your vet going off of just symptoms? I think $440 is a lot. I just run labs and add on Tli.
You just ask questions, if we can help out that's great.

Mickey and his pancreatitis brought me to Epi4dogs.com site in 2012 to help manage it.

That is so very kind of you. We all know what it's like to feel overwhelmed and lost in the beginning of EPI and having a group such as this with people willing to reach out and help guide you through is such an amazing thing.
Madelon, owned by DOC. DOC dx EPI 5/2015 = TLI < .4, B12 406; Folate >24. DOC taught me so much and together we battled and overcame EPI, food sensitivies, environmental allergies but we lost the cancer battle. DOC was dx with hemangiosarcoma 5/2022 and crossed the rainbow bridge July 24, 2022. He is and always will be the love of my life, my soulmate, my heart dog.
