Re: New diagnosis & Raw food

We were able to start on Creon 10 last Monday and it hasn't been an easy transition so far. We've tried the below and I was about to revert back to enzyme to get her stable again when we finally started getting good results. Monday : 1 pill/meal sprinkled on top of the food -> Within less than 24hrs...

Re: New diagnosis & Raw food

Thank you so much Vanessa and Olesia! I'll follow your advice once I get my hands on Creon. :) And yes, the enzymes are turning out to be very expensive because of the shipping and customs costs. It added well over $100 for a 2kg shipment so it adds up quickly. I'll let you all know how it works out...

Re: New diagnosis & Raw food

Another 2 weeks, another 700g (1.7lbs)! She's put on the exact same amount of weight as the 2 weeks prior and went from 20.5kg to 21.2kg. I've gotten her on Proviable for the past 10 days. It took about 5 days for her poo to firm up again but the tummy rumbles and gas have reduced significantly (fro...

Re: New diagnosis & Raw food

Huge relief! Her poo got good very quickly once I followed all the advice. It took less than a week for it to be normal, so it's been about a week now without any issues. Fingers crossed it continues. She does have some very stinky flatulence and days here and there with tummy noises so I'm looking ...

Re: New diagnosis & Raw food

3 weeks update: she's putting on weight! She went from 19.8kg (43.5 lbs) 2 weeks ago to 20.5kg (45.2 lbs) today. Not a lot but it's the right trend and a huge relief! Current protocol: Still on raw food, about 175% of her normal feeding across 4 meals per day 3 tsp of enzyme per pound of food Fortif...

Re: Canadian bovine enzyme powder ‘Thrive’

I used Thrive the first couple of weeks while waiting for the "proper" stuff and the results with my girl were very hit and miss. There were poop improvements for a couple of days then it would get bad again. I was using 1 Tsp / 1 cup of kibble, clearly not enough based on all the comments...

Re: New diagnosis & Raw food

Thank you so much I really appreciate the help and all the kind words. She hasn't had acid reflux, spitting or burps but she has been gassy. It's improved a lot in the past few days. She finally had a properly formed poo this morning though it was very beige. This morning, for the first time in a lo...

Re: New diagnosis & Raw food

Thank you so much for the super quick response, Jill! Everything I read here said no food should be eaten without the enzyme which is unfortunately the first I'd heard of it. I've been applying that rigorously since finding out. I did see the SID section but I wasn't sure it applied because she had ...

New diagnosis & Raw food

Hello, My name's Lucie and my dog Kaya was just diagnosed with EPI ten days ago. Finding this community has been a massive eye-opener and a huge relief to see dogs who are thriving in spite of the condition. We're at the very beginning of our EPI journey so things still feel chaotic and scary. I was...
