i second what Andrea suggested. Yes, we did do a poll (a couple of times) and the solutions are all over the map... what worked really depended on the individual dog.

Our 14.5 year old Vizsla Mya has suspected EPI. Did not have the cTLI test done (yet). She has all of the symptoms in addition to performing the Schebo fecal test from Enzyme Diane,...

YES!!!! SID is just weird. managing EPI is easy, but managing SID/SIBO/dysbiosis (that all dogs with EPI have) is the REAL problem!

If a dog has SID..... it can display just one or many of the symptoms. a lot of times.......

Hi folks,

We have downgraded our verification and security checks to 'medium' so you won't see the 'Are you a human' challenge as often.

Hopefully what we've done to-date has worked and we won't be needed to take such...

Last post

yes you can switch all at once from Viokase to Enzyme Diane.... when switching between enzyme brands, as long as they are similar in strength (USP units) there is no need to switch slowly ... just go 100% from one to another.

yep.... giving enzymes when not needed will not hurt UNLESS you give them long term... like a year.... and the dog doesn't have EPI and doesn't need enzymes.... Giving them long term is when you can cause an issue.

I know the 3 diagnosed conditions wont' be covered unless I find a company that covers pre-existing conditions. I am guessing the premium would be exorbitant because until I get a firm plan for Cookie's treatment in place,...

i agree with Jill, it is probably that the food is not optimally agreeing with this dog..... TOTW Pacific Stream is a decent choice, but it does have peas in it... although low on the list, so it might be okay.
