Do you intend to work this dog ?

we have had many service dogs over the years on the forum, and many working dogs too

I have had three GSD one with EPI

I can understand your concern, but noone can definitely answer to the dogs future health, except to say that these dogs generally live a decent life span once stable, mine did

the big issue now is to get the correct Enzymes , and b12 which you can get shipped from the UK.....

https://chemeyes.co.uk/product/vitamin-b12-capsules/

the b12 tablets or capsules MUST include the intrinsic factor so that the dog can digest food properly

https://epi4dogs.com/b12-in-brief-2/

this is an interesting web site

https://vetfocus.royalcanin.com/en/scientific/exocrine-pancreatic-insufficiency-in-dogs

as the dog is only young you may be able to turn unwanted behaviour round but she is literally starving and will do anything to get food

what are you going to do about enzymes which as I said is imperative, as is b12

are there any rumbling noises coming from her tummy
My name is Jean we live in Liverpool in Uk

I am the Forum Director which I am very proud of

My Kara born 21 July 2009 diagnosed with EPI by cTLI test August 2010 TLI = <1...folate 14 Cobalamin 408, shot down to 94, b12 injections every other day

Lowest weight 39 pounds

We used Panzym enzymes, Tylan and Chemeyes b12 capsules

Sadly, on 10th May 2019, we lost her to DM

Yes, the correct enzymes and B12 treatment is urgent.
