Re: Possible EPI, Vet Waiting to Test due to Steroids?
Kagome was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy today. She had an episode of sorts last Thursday, so we brought her to the ER where they saw she had an enlarged heart. On Monday we got x-rays, and today an echocardiogram. They believe it was diet induced due to research done on gluten free diets an...

Re: Possible EPI, Vet Waiting to Test due to Steroids?
Although I've heard a lot of places that their body can't detect protein if it's been hydrolyzed, so maybe it was something else in the food? Not sure.

Re: Possible EPI, Vet Waiting to Test due to Steroids?
I totally agree on the pork allergy possibility. The hydrolyzed food I switched her to was hydrolyzed PORK so maybe the combination of the two caused havoc. I'm really glad you mentioned that. Yesterday after Fasting her in the morning I went to our local pet store and decided to get a small bag of ...

Re: Possible EPI, Vet Waiting to Test due to Steroids?
Thanks to both of you for your suggestions and info. I'll look into plant enzymes and see if thats something we'd like to try instead of the pig. We changed her food to a hydrolyzed kibble 6 days ago and she still hasn't adjusted at all. This is on top of not doing the enzymes. Her poop is 100% ligh...

Re: Possible EPI, Vet Waiting to Test due to Steroids?
I have read about the FMT and would be very open to doing it. Right now the vet and I are waiting to hear back from A&M about their suggestion given the last two tests, which I can imagine goes... 1.) DIET 2.)PROBIOTICS 3.) THEN FMT We stopped the enzymes recently (per my last post) and its been...

Re: Possible EPI, Vet Waiting to Test due to Steroids?
Hey there. We finally got the DI test back today, but am still waiting on the Drs call to sort of explain it. The only thing that was off was Clostridium hiranonis. It should have been between 5.1-7.1, but it came back as 3.7. "Peptacetobacter (Clostridium) hiranonis is a normal component of he...

Re: Possible EPI, Vet Waiting to Test due to Steroids?
Thanks for the advice! I am logging the changes and the constant vet visits also help them stay informed. We should be getting her dysbiosis result soon. Yesterday she went in and weighed a little over 29lbs... so almost 3 pounds gained since we started using the probiotics about 2.5 weeks ago and e...

Re: Possible EPI, Vet Waiting to Test due to Steroids?
Hey! I did notice the bentonite and remembered (for my own stuff) that it's really not good to take too much, so she is only getting what is recommended. We have noticed a huge change in her poops lately since we've been using new stuff. I'll write what our routine is just to document. AM *1/2 teasp...

Re: Chronic Yeast Infections in Ears
We have bouts of feline acne, dog and cat ear issues, etc in our house and this product seems to help a lot with various problems and is relatively inexpensive.
