First thing you will want to do while still on the same food is increase the enzymes to compensate for whatever formula change happened ...

ahhh.... so you are in the medical field... EXCELLENT!!!! I try to be very careful with certain suggestions especially with meds that i do not have first hand experience or knowledge about. And these EPi dogs can throw you for a loop too ! THey don't always respond accordingly.... Thanks for your ki...
