Epi4Dogs

yea, i'd push for the Tylan.... and if not needed at least to have it on hand.... these EPI dogs tend to have set-backs with SID off and on through out the yeaars... some have it often, while others just once in a blue moon...

Typically for "out of control" SID.. we 1st suggest trying a prebiotic.
If that doesn't work, then we suggest trying a pre+probiotic combo (synergy effect)
And if THAT doesn't work then we suggest biting the bullet and doing antibiotics... in which case we strongly suggest Tylan.

HOWEVER... when you have a dog that is spewing liquid diarrhea constantly... you can only go a very short time until they start losing electrolytes etc.... so that is why i am suggesting Tylan sooner rather than later.

Keep us posted on the protein trials... something is setting your dog off... and since you get a variety of great, healthy food already, might as well see if you can figure it out

Good morning everyone,

I wanted to give an update and ask a few questions. We began trialing just the Ollie lamb food on Monday and since then her poops have gotten better and better each day. This morning she may have had the best poop I've ever seen from her! However, her overall demeanor is still poor and she is still very lethargic. I was also able to get Shiloh's vet to prescribe Tylan and she began taking it last night. He also instructed us to give her one pepcid daily for acid reflux symptoms (burping, gurling, drying coughing). I am still waiting on the WonderLabs B12 and Slippery Elm to arrive.

She is now currently taking the following meds:
In the morning- 1 proviable forte sprinkle capsule, 1 cobalequin (b12 supplement), and 1/4 tsp Tylan powder*
In the evening- 1 20mg pecid, 1 5mg prednisolone, 1/4 tsp Tylan powder*
*(after 5 days we were instructed to decrease the Tylan to 1/4 tsp 1x per day)

I am wondering...
1. When the slippery elm comes in should I give it to her since she is now on Tylan? Or should I hold off and just hang onto it?
2. Open to any other suggestions you may have!
