Tylan to Slippery Elm

Post by Tuckaboo Pam » 08 Nov 2019, 05:13

I would like to start weaning Tucker off Tylan and see if slippery elm will do the trick. How do I do this? He currently takes 1/4 teaspoon Tylan, twice a day with meals, has been for about two months now, and he is doing great. Thank you---Pam
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 Pam

Kara couldnt cope with Slippery Elm unforunately, so, we could never take her off Tylan

but others have had great success

The amount of Tylan was about 1/32nd teaspoon, hardly worthwhile, but necessary

Life is never dull with EPI, every day is like an advent calendar ! but more days !

So, Jean, maybe I should just try & reduce the amount of Tylan. I hate to risk messing with his gorgeous little poos, but Tylan is so expensive here. I give a tiny bit to my maltipoo, also, and she has been straightened out, too. Thank you. Pam
