Thanks for clarifying on the weight. As for Dechra treats, the Epi part I think is happenstance, as the ingredients are ok but I see nothing that makes them Epi specific:

Re: 2 yr old Sheltie diagnosed with EPI
When we switched from commercial brands of enzymes, like the one you are using, to Diane's enzymes, we ordered Diane's 6X Pancreatin. Kolby had absolutely no negative reactions (and he reacted to everything). We have been using them for 9 years. But to feel sure about your decision, you can talk to Diane personally. She publishes her phone number on her website and is glad to help you make the right choice.

Re: 2 yr old Sheltie diagnosed with EPI
I used CBD Oil for my dogs when we go to our Vet. They are so excited when we go outside. I gave them CBD Oil 15 to 30 minutes prior. CBD oil for our pets can treat health issues such as digestive or upset tummy, inflammation, joint pain or even allergies.
I tried this in my dog, I gave it when I know he faced a stressful situation. And as I done researching, I came across to this article about Cannabis and Mj kylekushman.com/00-box-personal-humidor/

Re: 2 yr old Sheltie diagnosed with EPI
Glad to hear she is gaining weight. Yes, please contact your vet about the WonderLabs pills - we always recommend discussing with your vet any recommendations we give and highly recommend they review our website which is recommended by the AVMA. B12 is critical to properly managing EPI and supplementing is for life. There is actually a veterinarian office in Canada that after using B12 shots and not having a good response they tried the WonderLabs pills and saw great results so they have now switched the entire office over to using WonderLabs pills for B12 - even in non-EPI dogs!!!
As for treats, we do not recommend treats until your dog is stable (good poops and weight gain) for a few months. Then you can try adding in a grain free treat close to an enzymed meal, or one of our enzymed treat recipes on our website. Just watch the poops so you'll know if it agrees with your dog or not.
Keep us posted with updates.

Madelon, owned by DOC. DOC dx EPI 5/2015 = TLI < .4, B12 406; Folate >24. DOC taught me so much and together we battled and overcame EPI, food sensitivies, environmental allergies but we lost the cancer battle. DOC was dx with hemangiosarcoma 5/2022 and crossed the rainbow bridge July 24, 2022. He is and always will be the love of my life, my soulmate, my heart dog.

It's important to approach the use of cannabis or any cannabis-derived products in pets with caution. While some anecdotal reports suggest that cannabis products may help alleviate stress or anxiety in dogs, there is limited scientific research on the safety and efficacy of these products in animals.lourde0927 wrote: ↑17 Jan 2019, 20:13 I used CBD Oil for my dogs when we go to our Vet.
