Thank you! She’s been doing great since we finally figured out last summer she had IBD. I wasn’t aware that EPI dogs eat much more than normal dogs. Hence why I thought maybe her amount and number of feedings were because of...

Hi Kate! welcome to the forum from another UK EPI dog mum!

I wasn't quite sure what you wanted to do initially, are you talking about buying enzyme powder and putting it in capsules yourself?

We were using Lypex for the...

To begin with, I want to thank each and every member of this group who created this page with such plethora of information about conditions which are often neglected by vets. So grateful.

With Creon, I give the pills, then feed the dog as you would a normal dog. No mixing and no incubation. You can also try opening capsules and dump pellets on the food, and feed immediately. Either option works equally well...

Recently, my 12-month-old puppy's levels were found to be borderline diagnostic for endocrine pancreatic insufficiency, or EPI. In order to determine whether adding enzymes to her food will assist, my veterinarian advises us...

honestly, this is worth discussing with your vet because I imagine most of us here dont know enough about what conditions the med is stable under (time, heat, how moisture affects it, etc). It is a digestive enzyme, so it...

Hello EPI forum,

We have a 14 month blue heeler, Emma.
She has had EPI since she was 10 months and her weight has gone down from 43 lbs to 30 lbs.

We have been giving her enzymes since mid Nov 2023 but so far she only...

If you notice sudden fearfullness, unwilling to eat please start B12 immediately. If the B12 dips low things go south in a hurry.

Hi,
My dog was recently diagnosed with EPI, and the enzymes seem to be helping. I'm wondering about the pre- and probiotics—should we use them as a topper on the food, or should we mix them in with the enzymes? Specifically,...

Last post

Probiotics I get are in capsules. Sometimes I give the pill whole, but often I just open the capsule and dump it on the food. I figure it's good for the mouth too, although likely not in contact there long enough with how...
