Feeding Raw Pancreas
Posted: 03 Aug 2022, 15:02
Hello,
We are just coming up to our year mark with Koda being diagnosed with EPI. We started with Pancreplus and prescription GI food, but it become really expensive and I never found the right dose of Pancreplus to harden his stool.
I have switched to raw pancreas and I am feeding BarkEats Adult Grain-Free Turkey with Pumpkin & Sweet Potato Dog Food (4.0 Cups/Day). I also give him B-12 with dinner and his food has a probiotic in it. His stool starts off solid and darker and by the end of the day it is lighter and softer. He hasn't gained weight in months and his ribs are slightly visible now. I'm not sure if the raw pancreas isn't helping enough or if its his food. He is also very gassy as the night goes on.
I feel like we have been struggling this whole year but aside from his constant hunger and weight he acts like a typical German shepherd puppy. Has anyone had luck with feeding a full raw diet or just the raw pancreas? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
