Hi Eva (Lara's care-giver),

We realize you were not giving advice on what to use...... but i am sure Jeremy was just clarifying.... sometimes people don't thoroughly read what is posted and may misinterpret some of the text.... so i am sure this was just extra clarification....

However.... i do want to say, thank you very much for sharing Lara's journey.... i don't think people realize how much sharing experiences can be helpful. I know we promote a LOT of what research suggests and we mostly follow Texas A&M Gastrointestinal Lab protocol .... but .... Many times, it is something from someone sharing their personal experience managing their EPI pet that often ends up helping another EPI parent struggling with their EPI pet.

As a matter of fact.... many times the researchers will do a clinical trial based on multiple reports of anecdotal responses. So sharing stories is always welcome .... and thank you for sharing Lara's.
Olesia, was owned by Izzy, a 35lb Spanish Water Dog (SWD), Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.. Izzy passed away on February 13, 2020 at 15 years old. She lived with EPI for 13+1/2 years. It was because of Izzy that Epi4Dogs was started... she was the inspiration. May her legacy of helping others with EPI continue for as long as needed.........
