You are very welcome.

Of course, giving more enzymes won't help with right now with the inappetence , but on the flip side, insufficient enzymes can encourage SID to become more uncontrolled and with some dogs, when they have uncontrolled SID, they feel yucky. Some get sick (vomit), some lick their lips some have acid reflux, loose stools, slime on their stools, yellowish stools, and some go off their food and then don't want to eat... it can all be a vicious cycle. The trick to managing EPI is all about finding the right balance of the protocol... unfortunately, that is easier said then done in some cases.

ANyway... try camouflaging his enzymes for now, at least see if that helps him start eating, and if the diminished enzymes were part of the SID problem, then by increasing the enzymes, that should (in short order) help George's tummy feel better and that might be another part of the reason why he doesn't want to eat. OR... it might have absolutely nothing to do with it. We honestly don't know, but the best we can do is try some techniques that has worked for some other dogs that were also struggling.

Keep us posted!
