Re: Request help with suspected EPI in 4 year old Indie mix

Hi Munmun, First... please know that we all make mistakes with our dogs but thankfully they are hardy enough/straighten out and they forgive and love us just the same! :). It always amazes me how feeding smaller portions is so much easier on the gut and can make a huge difference with dogs that have...

Re: Request help with suspected EPI in 4 year old Indie mix

Hi Munmun, Because Posto's poo has improved it sounds like the home-made diet really is best, but because of the weight loss, and as i explained, real food has a lot more water content.... so do try feeding smaller portions but more meals throughout the day as best you can and adding cottage cheese ...

Re: New to EPI questions from the UK!

Ahhhhh... stinky fart, regurg, tummy aches.... oh yeah... this REALLY sounds like out-of-control SID/SIBO/Dysbiosis..... And it is rather interesting to see different bad SID cases.... some dogs act as if nothing is wrong while others act as if they are struggling! Sounds like Oscar is one of the la...

Re: Raw Food

HI Klaudia and WELCOME to you and Titus. YES!!!... to start with 85% protein to 15% veggies etc is perfectly fine.... as long as the poos look good.

Re: Zuko's EPI Diagnosis

you are not adding that much with the toppers.... so you can just eave the enzyme to food ratio of 1:1 ...... OR if you want go ahead and try 3/4 tsp of enzymes per 1 cup of food.... see if that helps with the regurg. OR simply add a tablespoon or 2 of more water to the food OR Reduce the amount of ...

Re: Request help with suspected EPI in 4 year old Indie mix

Stay with the home-made food... to sum it up... it's better. BUT.....Once things settle down with Posto.... THEN you will need to look at adding a home-made diet supplement to make sure he is getting the necessary vitamins and minerals with the home-made food. SOOOOOOO..... feeding home-made (or raw...
