Re: Hi everyone.... Lila's mom here
My wonderful vet, who has taken marvelous care of our four dogs, listened to me when I first told her I suspected Tucker had EPI. (I read a sad story about a rescued shepherd that couldn't gain weight because of EPI, and when I googled it, my Tucker had 7 of 10 symptoms...he was skinny, but not emaciated). My vet had never treated a case of EPI, but she tried, and after about a month, she sent me to an older vet who did know about it, and between this forum and that vet, my boy has become very healthy. I'm not sure every vet would listen to their patients, or would admit they didn't know what to do. I feel very lucky that mine did not have a big ego, and sent me for help. I hope your vet will listen to you, and to what you will learn from the amazing ladies who run this site. Take Care---Pam
Tucker was a shepherd mix--- TLI 1.3, Folate 9.7, Cobalamin 666, Lipase 38. Diane's Enzymes 4 t/day, B12 1 capsule/day, and Tylan 1/16 teaspoon/day. Taste of the Wild High Prairie, 4 c/day. 60 to 85 pounds! Tucker succumbed to hemangiosarcoma Nov. 2023. I will always, always miss my sweet big boy.
Now there's Nina. 5 year old GSD. TLI 1.0 B12 323. We are still tweaking her routine, and getting lots of help from the forum. She is klutzy and goofy, and we love her dearly, too.
